Green Bean Casserole




 So, I used this recipe and it was fantastic. It came from melskitchencafe.com

 I love green bean casserole. I did make some changes, but I would be happy with this again.


Green Bean Casserole

1/2 cup panko bread crumbs

·   1 tablespoon butter, melted

·   2 1/2 cups canned fried onions I only did the onions

CASSEROLE:

·   2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces I did 4 cans of canned green beans because I like them

·   3 tablespoons butter

·   1 pound cremini or baby bella mushrooms, chopped I only had half this much

·   1/4 teaspoon dried thyme I used ground

·   2 garlic cloves, finely minced I used garlic powder

·   1 teaspoon salt

·   1/4 teaspoon black pepper

·   1/4 cup all-purpose flour I did 3 1/2 Tbs., and it definitely needs a full 4 Tbs.

·   1 1/2 cups chicken broth (I use low-sodium)

·   3/4 cup heavy cream I did 1 1/2 cups half and half, and I would decrease this slightly to keep it thicker.

·   3/4 cup milk (1%, 2% or whole)



This is just a basic roux, and then I made it the night before and put it in the fridge and then poured it over the green beans the next day. Mix fat, saute mushrooms in spices, add flour, cook 1 minute, add liquids, boil.
