Ingredients

  • 24 oz trimmed green beans
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 8 oz baby bell mushrooms roughly chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic - minced
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 4 tbsp salted butter
  • 4 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups 2% milk
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 2 cups crispy fried onions divided into ½ cup and 1 ½ cup portions

Instructions

  • Boil a pot of salted water. Chop green beans into smaller bite sized pieces - about 1.5 inches long each
  • Place green beans in the boiled water for 2 minutes. Remove from the pot and immediately drain and rinse with cold water to stop them from cooking.
  • Preheat the oven to 350F and grease a 9x13 casserole dish.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. When the oil is warm, add the chopped mushrooms and minced garlic. Saute until softened - about 5 minutes. Mix in salt.
  • Reduce heat to med-low and add butter to the skillet. Once the butter has melted, add the flour and stir it in. A thick paste will be created.
  • Slowly mix in the milk and dijon mustard, mixing constantly to avoid any clumps. Turn off heat once the milk is fully incorporated.
  • Place green beans in a greased casserole dish and stir in the mushroom mixture. Stir in ½ cup of crispy fried onions.
  • Place in the oven to bake uncovered at 350F for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with 1 ½ cups of the crispy fried onions. Return to the oven and bake for another 5-10 minutes. Serve warm.
