THE BEST GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE

A nice green bean casserole recipe to try !

Green Bean Casserole Ingredients
For the topping:

* 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
* 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
* 2 tablespoons panko bread crumbs
* 1 teaspoon kosher salt
* Nonstick cooking spray

For beans and sauce:

* 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
* 1 pound fresh green beans, rinsed, trimmed and halved
* 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
* 12 ounces mushrooms, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
* 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
* 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
* 1 cup chicken broth
* 1 cup half-and-half

Green Bean Casserole Instructions :

Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.

Combine the onions, flour, panko and salt in a large mixing bowl and toss to combine. Coat a sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray and evenly spread the onions on the pan. Place the pan on the middle rack of the oven and bake until golden brown, approximately 30 minutes. Toss the onions 2 to 3 times during cooking. Once done, remove from the oven and set aside until ready to use. Turn the oven down to 400 degrees F.

While the onions are cooking, prepare the beans. Bring a gallon of water and 2 tablespoons of salt to a boil in an 8-quart saucepan. Add the beans and blanch for 5 minutes. Drain in a colander and immediately plunge the beans into a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain and set aside.

Melt the butter in a 12-inch cast iron skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, 1 teaspoon 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 nutmeg 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 the heat and stir in 1/4 of the onions and all of the green beans. Top with the remaining onions. Place into the oven and bake until bubbly, approximately 15 minutes. Remove and the green bean casserole is ready to serve immediately...enjoy it !

One Mean Green Bean Casserole

One Mean Green Bean Casserole
A great green bean casserole recipe to try !
GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE INGREDIENTS

* 600g green beans- halfed and rinsed
* 700ml milk
* 1 small onion
* 1 bay leaf
* 2 garlic cloves-smashed
* 1 small whole nutmeg
* 45g flour
* 45g butter + 1 tablespoon for the mushrooms
* 240g chestnut mushrooms
* 2 large red onions
* 1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil
* Parmesan for sprinkling- Optional

GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE INSTRUCTIONS
Rinse the green beans well. Place them in a deep pot, cover with water and bring to a boil. Blanch them for no more than three minutes. Remove, strain and leave for later. You can do this step well ahead of time and then re-heat the green beans in a little water when ready to serve.

As soon as you put the green beans on the stove, add the milk to a saucepan with the whole nutmeg, bayleaf, onions and smashed garlic. Bring the milk to a simmer and be sure to keep stirring so that it doesn’t burn. This shouldn’t take more than two to three minutes. Turn off the flame and let it sit to infuse about 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, remove all the ingredients from the milk.

In a well buttered pan, add the mushrooms and cook on high flame for no more than a minute or so. Remove and strain.

Add the butter (45g) in a heavy bottomed sauce pan and let it melt on medium-low flame.

Now add the flour (45g) and using a wooden spoon keep stirring till all is incorporated.

You are going to keep stirring for about 2-3 minutes till the roux starts to froth and most of the flour flavor is cooked off.

Now begin adding the strained warm milk a little at a time. About 1-2 tablespoons to start with and continuously stir.

Switch to a whisk and keep adding the milk slowly, continuously whisking, adding more as the milk is incorporated.

Once you’ve added all the milk, let the sauce cook for a further ten to fifteen minutes on low heat and keep stirring very often. Now, if you wish you can make the sauce a couple of hours ahead of time then you will need to keep it warm in a bain-marie. Add the sauce to a pyrex bowl and place over a pot filled with warm water. The sauce will thicken so just before serving add more warmed milk to it while whisking till desired consistency is reached. Remember to add the milk little by little. You can also cook the roux the night before, keep it in the fridge covered, then follow the rest of the steps about twenty to thirty minutes before serving. Make sure you start with a warmed roux.

Now add salt and freshly ground pepper.

The mushrooms. Be sure to warm them if you’re making this ahead.

Now, drizzle the vegetable oil into a sautee pan and when the oil is hot, add the onion rings. Cook, stirring very often, till they are golden and crispy.

Lather the hot green beans with the bechamel sauce. Sprinkle with some parmesan if you like.

And, then top with the crispy onions. Alternatively and if you are making certain bits ahead of time, you can add all the chilled ingredients in a casserole, add the bechamel sauce and then bake in a pre-heated oven 350F/160C/3G for about 10-15 minutes.

The green bean casserole is ready to serve...Enjoy!

MAKE-AHEAD FRESH GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE

2009-08-01T08:38:00.000-07:00

MAKE-AHEAD FRESH GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE

INGREDIENTS
SAUCE
* 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
* 8 ounces fresh mushrooms, caps broken into pieces, stems roughly chopped
* 1 teaspoon kosher salt
* 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
* 6 cloves garlic, minced (don’t skimp on these)
* 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
* 1/4 cup flour
* 1-1/2 cups chicken stock or boullion
* 1/2 cup dry white wine
* 1-1/2 cups cream
* 2 tablespoons dry sherry
* Additional kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, if needed

BEANS
* 2 pounds fresh green beans, stems trimmed, broken into bite-size pieces
* 1/4 cup cornstarch

TOPPING
* 1 cup panko
* 2 tablespoons melted butter
* 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
* Freshly ground pepper
* 2 cups (about 3 ounces) canned fried onions, chopped

INSTRUCTIONS
SAUCE In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter on medium heat til melted. Add the mushrooms, salt and pepper and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring often, until the mushrooms are cooked and the mushroom liquid has evaporated. Add the garlic and thyme and cook for about a minute. Sprinkle the mushrooms with flour and stir in as best you can. A tablespoon at a time, stir in the chicken stock, letting each tablespoon become absorbed before adding another. (This will take several minutes, be patient or you’ll risk a lumpy mess.) Stir in the wine and cream. Bring to a boil. Let simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thickened, about 15 minutes. Stir in the sherry. Taste the sauce and add salt and pepper, if needed. (It should be slightly salty and slightly peppery since the beans themselves are unseasoned.)

BEANS While the sauce cooks, toss the green beans and cornstarch well. Transfer to a 9x13 ceramic baking dish. Pour hot mushroom sauce over top. Gently press green beans into the sauce so that all the beans are submerged. Cool completely. Cover with plastic wrap, making sure there’s no air between the green beans and the plastic. Wrap with foil. Freeze. Do not thaw before baking.

TOPPING No more than a day before, mix the panko, butter, salt and pepper in a skillet. On medium heat, let the crumbs brown, stirring often, being careful not to burn. Stir in the fried onions.

BAKING Preheat oven to 400F. IMPORTANT: remove plastic wrap from casserole, then replace the foil. Bake for 30 minutes, stir, leave the foil off and bake for another 50 minutes. (If the sauce is too thin, leave in oven, stirring every 5 minutes or so, until it thickens.) Spread topping over the casserole, bake for another 10 minutes until golden. The green bean casserole is ready to serve....enjoy it !
