How to Make Green Beans Supreme
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- If using fresh green beans, wash and trim them. Blanch in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then immediately plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain well.
- If using canned green beans, thoroughly rinse and drain.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and mushrooms; sauté until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- While vegetables cook, heat milk in a separate saucepan over low heat until warm. Do not boil.
- Stir in flour to the skillet with the vegetables until smooth. Cook for 1 minute.
- Gradually whisk in the warm milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until melted and smooth.
- Add the drained green beans and sliced water chestnuts; stir to combine.
- Pour the mixture into a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Top with breadcrumbs and dot with thin slivers of butter.
- Sprinkle with chopped almonds (optional).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
