How to Make Green Bean And Celery Casserole

Steam 1 pound of green beans until crisp-tender (not mushy), about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 cups of chopped celery and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 ½ cups of chicken broth, ¼ cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon of black pepper, and ½ teaspoon of dried thyme.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
Add the steamed green beans and sautéed celery to the sauce. Stir gently to combine.
Pour the mixture into two (4-quart) greased casserole dishes.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and lightly browned on top.
