THE BEST GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE


The creamy homemade sauce is why I call this one, "The Best!" No canned stuff in this recipe. The sauce is super easy to prepare and comes together quickly. Fresh green beans are also another must of mine. You can definitely use canned or frozen but I personally love the flavor of the fresh. 
So if you're going to be making a green bean casserole on Thanksgiving or Christmas I hope you give this one a try! 

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 1/2 pounds fresh green beans, rinsed, trimmed then halved
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 1/4 cups half-and-half (or use whole milk)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup French's fried onions
INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook green beans for 5 to 7 minutes. Drain water. Pour cooked green beans in the prepared dish in an even layer.

  6. Pour sauce evenly over the green beans in dish. Sprinkle the fried onions on top.
  7. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. *Place a piece of tinfoil over the top the last 10 minutes to prevent onions from burning.*
