Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized russet potatoes
- 500 grams fresh green beans
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1.5 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large pot with water, bring to a boil, and cook for 10-12 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
Trim the ends off the green beans and cut them into 2-inch pieces. Steam or boil the green beans for 5-7 minutes until slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until the mixture forms a paste.
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the sauce and stir until melted and smooth. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Remove from heat.
In the greased baking dish, combine the cooked potatoes and green beans. Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the vegetables and gently mix to coat.
In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, and olive oil. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the casserole.
Bake the casserole for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Easy Green Bean Potato Casserole!
