Instructions
How to make a green bean casserole from scratch:
- Clean and cut the green beans: to make this casserole with fresh green beans, we will need to clean the beans, cut the ends, and then cut them into bite-size pieces.Blanch the green beans: bring a large pot of water to a boil, this is to blanch the green beans, they should be cooked lightly before adding to the pot. Once the water is boiling, gently add the green beans to the water and cook for about 5 minutes. This will soften them, but keep in mind that the beans cook longer in the oven, so we don't want to cook them completely at this time. When the beans are cooked, remove them and add them to a bowl of ice water. This will stop cooking.Make the mushroom sauce: Melt the butter in a large skillet. Then add the mushrooms, I prefer to chop mine making them smaller, they blend well in the pan. You can also crop them if you want to make them bigger. You can also leave them completely if you prefer. Sauté mushrooms until tender and tender, add garlic. Then sprinkle with flour, mix. This will create a thick paste. Stir in broth, half and half and seasonings. Simmer gently as the cooking will thicken.Stir green beans into mushroom sauce. Add some fried onions.
