Sensational Green Bean Casserole and oh-so-easy to make. Tastes so good this will be your only Green bean casserole from now on.
- 1 1/2 lbs fresh french beans ends trimmed (green beans)
- 4 tablespoons butter divided
- 2 tablespoons vidalia onions finely chopped
- 4 ounces baby portabella mushrooms cleaned and finely chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sour cream
- fresh ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups corn flakes cereal recommended ( Corn Flakes
- 1/2 lb mozzarella cheese grated
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium heat then add the beans and cook until just tender (but still firm), about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the beans from the water to a large bowl of ice water to preserve color and stop the cooking then drain the beans and set aside.
-
Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; Add the onions and saute until translucent.
-
Stir in the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper to taste, saute about 3 to 5 minutes.
-
Add the flour and stir for another minute, to cook out the raw flour taste, and then whisk in the sour cream.
-
Simmer for just a couple of minutes to bring the flavors together and taste for seasoning.
-
Cut the green beans into 2-inch pieces.
-
Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a small pan. Crush the cereal flakes in a resealable plastic bag and add them to the pan with the butter, tossing to coat.
-
Spread the green beans over the bottom of a 9-inch casserole dish and pour all of the mushroom sauce mixture over the beans topping with the grated cheese.
-
Sprinkle with the buttered cereal flakes and bake in the preheated 400 degree F oven, until light golden brown and bubbly, approximately 20 minutes.
-
Remove from the oven and serve.
Enjoy!
