Green Bean Casserole Doesn’t Have To Be Made With Canned Soup Anymore…. We Gotta Killer Sauce!

This Fresh Green Bean Casserole will keep you out of the canned soup aisle for good! You are going to love how fresh everything is and how surprisingly easy this recipe can be put together.

Ingredients Needed:

1 lb fresh green beans, ends trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces if desired

8 oz. white mushrooms, sliced

2 tbsp butter

¼ tsp kosher salt

2 cloves garlic, minced

1⅓ C heavy cream

½ C parmesan cheese, shredded

¼ tsp black pepper

1 pinch ground nutmeg

½- 1 C french-fried onions

more salt to taste

How To Prepare:

Heat a pot of water to boiling and place beans in the water to blanch for about 5 minutes. Beans should be bright green and just barely tender. Immediately remove beans from water and plunge into a a bowl of cold water or run under the faucet until cool. This stops the cooking process.

In a medium pan, saute mushrooms in butter and salt until soft and starting to caramelize.

Stir garlic and cream into the mushrooms and bring to a simmer. Stir in parmesan, pepper, nutmeg, and green beans and continue to simmer for about 5 minutes or until the sauce is thickened and the beans are tender.

Remove from heat, season with more salt to taste and top with french-fried onions.

Enjoy!

Fresh green beans are available in certain parts of the country year-round but if they are not always available in your area, try blanching and freezing them to have on hand whenever you need them.
