Ingredients
- 1 lb green beans rinsed, trimmed and halved, fresh
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter divided
- 8 ounces cremini mushroom sliced, or white mushroom
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 garlic minced, cloves
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 cup vegetable broth or chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups fried onions divided
- 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese finely grated
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch pan and set aside.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch them for 3 to 4 minutes. Drain, and immediately place them into a large bowl filled with ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again. Place the green beans on a clean kitchen towel or plate lined with a paper towel. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the pepper. Cook for about five minutes stirring occasionally. Stir in the garlic and cook for another two minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour on top of the mushrooms, stir until well combined. Add the vegetable broth and simmer for 2 to 3 more minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low and add the heavy cream. Stirring occasionally, cook until the sauce has thickened, about 5 to 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and add the green beans and 1 cup of fried onions. Stir until sauce and beans are well combined. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
- In a medium skillet, melt remaining tablespoon of butter. Add the panko breadcrumbs and cook until the breadcrumbs are toasted, 3 to 4 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Top with the remaining onions, toasted breadcrumbs, and parmesan cheese. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes or until bubbly.
- Serve and enjoy!

Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. The fried onions will get a little soggy after reheating. You can always add fresh ones on top to freshen the dish up!
