Stovetop Green Bean Casserole
Description
This casserole begins by blanching trimmed French green beans briefly in boiling water, then shocking them in ice water to preserve their vibrant color and crispness. Butter and sliced cremini mushrooms are sautéed until browned, developing a savory base. Garlic, salt, and pepper are added for seasoning.
Flour is added to create a roux, which is then blended with vegetable broth, Dijon mustard, heavy cream, and sour cream to make a thick, creamy sauce coating the green beans. The skillet mixture simmers until the sauce thickens further and the beans are well coated.
The final touch is topping with crispy fried onions, which can be lightly reheated for extra crunch before adding. This casserole offers a balanced texture of tender vegetables, rich creaminess, and crunchy topping, making it a comforting side dish suitable for various meals.
