Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh green beans, snipped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon salt and pepper mix
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh minced garlic
- Two 2.8 oz containers crispy fried onions (divided)
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 2 tablespoons flour
Instructions
- Blanch the green beans: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 3–4 minutes, until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Set aside.
- Make the sauce: In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk to make a roux. Cook until light golden brown.
- Add liquids: Slowly whisk in the chicken stock until smooth, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan. Stir in the heavy cream, minced garlic, and salt and pepper mix. Simmer until slightly thickened.
- Assemble the casserole: Stir in the blanched green beans and one container of crispy fried onions. Mix until everything is evenly coated.
- Bake: Pour the mixture into a casserole dish and top with the remaining container of fried onions. Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.
- Serve warm.
Notes
Store any leftover green bean casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, simply place it in the oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes or until heated through. You can also reheat individual servings in the microwave for something quick and easy.
