Green Bean Casserole From Scratch
Description
The Green Bean Casserole From Scratch starts with fresh trimmed green beans briefly microwaved until tender-crisp, then shocked in cold water to preserve texture. Portobello mushrooms and onions cook together with parsley until softened, providing a rich base for the sauce.
Butter and flour are combined to make a roux, to which milk and the green beans are added creating a creamy sauce that thickens on the stove. Gruyere cheese adds a nutty, melty richness.
Layered in an oven-safe dish and topped with a mixture of grated gruyere and crispy fried onions, the casserole bakes until bubbly and browned. After resting, the dish is served warm with a combination of creamy, tender, and crisp textures in flavors balanced by salt and pepper.
