Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 900 grams fresh green beans
- 6 slices bacon
- 250 grams button mushrooms
- 4 large garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 360 milliliters chicken or vegetable broth
- 240 milliliters heavy cream
- 60 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 100 grams crispy fried onions
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
Trim and boil the green beans in salted water for 4-5 minutes, or until they are bright green and slightly tender. Drain and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking, then drain again and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan, crumble it, and set aside. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat in the skillet.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet with the bacon fat and sauté for 5 minutes until golden brown. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Remove the mushrooms and garlic from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to form a roux.
Gradually whisk in the chicken or vegetable broth, followed by the heavy cream. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the mixture thickens. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.
Add the sautéed mushrooms and crumbled bacon to the sauce, then mix in the blanched green beans. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly.
Top with crispy fried onions and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the onions are golden and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy the flavorful combination of green beans, bacon, mushrooms, garlic, and creamy sauce!
