Green Bean Casserole
Read my review of this recipe.
Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 pound mushrooms, trimmed and cut into pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 5 tablespoons flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups half and half
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 6 cans (14.5 ounces each) cut green beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 2/3 cups french fried onions
Directions:
Melt the butter in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms begin to give up some of their liquid, approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute. Add the broth and simmer for 1 minute. Decrease the heat to medium-low and add the half-and-half. Cook until the mixture thickens, stirring occasionally, approximately 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Combine the mushroom sauce, green beans, and half of the french fried onions. Pour into a greased 3 quart dish or a 9×13 baking dish. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes, or until bubbly. Top with remaining french fried onions and bake another 5 minutes.
Serves 12.

This was very good and much better than using cream of mushroom soup.
