Ingredients
- 2 pounds green beans thawed and drained, frozen
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 yellow onion chopped, medium
- 3 garlic pressed or minced, cloves
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 cups heavy cream or half-and-half
- 1 teaspoon thyme dried
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 3 cups fried onions canned
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 5-6 minutes or until the onion softens and the garlic is fragrant. Stir in the kosher salt and black pepper.
- Sprinkle the flour over the onion mixture and cook for 1 minute, stirring, to lose the raw flour flavor. Add the chicken broth and stir to combine. Whisk in the cream or half-and-half until smooth, add the dried thyme, and stir in the soy sauce. Cook for 5-7 minutes on medium-high for the sauce to reduce and thicken.
- Add the green beans and stir well to combine. Cook until bubbly and the green beans are warmed through.
- Transfer the beans to a 9 X 13 baking dish then evenly sprinkle the top with the fried onions. Bake for 30 minutes or until warmed through and the top begins to brown.

Notes
- • If using frozen green beans, thaw and drain before mixing.
- • If using fresh green beans, bring a large saucepan of water to a boil with 1 teaspoon of salt. Add the chopped green beans and cook for 5 minutes until tender but still crisp. Drain and immediately transfer to a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
