Never Enough Green Bean Casserole Recipes

NEVER ENOUGH GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Heat the undiluted cream of mushroom soup in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the processed cheese and bacon, and continue stirring until completely melted. Remove from the heat, stir in the mushrooms, then the green beans until evenly coated. Pour the mixture into a casserole dish, and top with the fried onions, leaving a 1 inch margin around the sides.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until heated through and bubbly. Check near the end of cooking to make sure the onions aren't getting too brown.

INDIVIDUAL GREEN BEAN CASSEROLES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly-salted water to a rolling boil. Add beans and cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. (The beans will not soften too much more during baking, so if you want them softer, cook to your preference.)
• Drain beans, run under cold water, and place in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. When beans are chilled, drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray the inside of 4 ramekins with cooking spray.
• Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and shallot and cook until they start to brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms, stirring well to combine. Gradually pour in chicken stock, soy sauce, Dijon, and thyme, stirring constantly; the mixture will be thick at this point. Stir in half-and-half, salt, and pepper until well combined. Reduce heat to low and simmer until flavors have melded and sauce has thickened, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Stir in green beans and bacon until well combined. Spoon into the prepared ramekins and top with French-fried onions.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 13 to 15 minutes. Serve immediately.
