Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup finely diced yellow onion
- 6 oz fresh mushrooms , cleaned and chopped
- 1 clove garlic , minced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk
- 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon base or powder (vegan: use vegetable), e.g. Better Than Bouillon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 44 ounces (3 x 14.5 oz cans) cooked cut green beans , drained
- 6 ounces French fried onions (I recommend ones made without hydrogenated oils)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.Heat the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the onions until soft and translucent, 5-7 minutes. Add the mushrooms and garlic and cook until the mushrooms have released their juices and are tender, 5 minutes.Stir in the flour and cook for another minute. Add the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumping, and bring to a simmer. Continue stirring until the mixture is thickened. Add the chicken bouillon, salt and pepper. Cover, reduce the heat to medium, and simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.Stir in the green beans and, if desired, 1/3 of the French fried onions. Add salt and pepper to taste.Pour the mixture into a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish. Bake for 30 minutes until hot. Sprinkle with the remaining French fried onions and bake for another 5 minutes until the onions are golden brown.
