Blanch the green beans: Preheat oven to 375°F. Blanch trimmed and halved green beans in salted boiling water for 3-4 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath, drain, and set aside. 2. Cook the vegetables: In a deep skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter + 1 tbsp oil. Add onion and cook 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook 8–10 minutes, stirring often. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds. 3. Make the creamy sauce: Add the remaining 2 tbsp butter and let it melt. Sprinkle in ¼ cup flour, stir well, and cook 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in 1 cup chicken broth + 2½ cups milk until smooth. Add Worcestershire, soy sauce, Dijon, salt, and pepper. Simmer 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened. 4. Combine: Stir in ¾ cup Parmesan and 1 cup crispy fried onions. Taste and adjust salt/pepper if needed. Add the green beans and mix to coat evenly. 5. Bake covered: Transfer everything to a casserole dish. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes at 375°F. 6. Add the topping: Uncover the casserole. Sprinkle the remaining ¾ cup Parmesan and 1 cup crispy onions over the top. 7. Bake uncovered: Return to the oven for 10 minutes uncovered. 8. Broil: Broil 1–2 minutes until golden and crispy on top (watch closely!). #greenbeans #greenbeancasserole #easyrecipe #thanksgiving #sidedishes #thanksgivingrecipes
