Fresh green beans and a quick mushroom sauce beat the can every time, but the crispy onions on top are non-negotiable. This is the dish people quietly take seconds of.

10 servings or type

2 pounds Fresh green beans, trimmed

3 tablespoons Unsalted butter

8 ounces Cremini mushrooms, sliced

2 Garlic cloves, minced

3 tablespoons All-purpose flour

1 ½ cups Whole milk

½ cup Chicken broth

1 teaspoon Kosher salt

½ teaspoon Ground black pepper

1 ½ cups Crispy fried onions

Steps

Heat the oven to 375°F. Blanch the beans in salted boiling water 4 minutes, then plunge into ice water and drain.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook the mushrooms 6 minutes until browned; add the garlic for 1 minute. Sprinkle over the flour, stir 1 minute, then whisk in the milk and broth until smooth and thickened, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Toss the beans with the sauce and spread in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Bake 20 minutes.
Scatter the crispy onions over the top and bake 10 minutes more, until golden and bubbling.

Tip: Do not skip the ice bath. It locks in the bright green color so the casserole looks as good as it tastes.
