Green Bean Casserole

Ingredients:

  • To taste kosher salt
  • 3 lbs. green beans, trimmed
  • 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, divided
  • 2 yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 lb. cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • To taste freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 6 cups whole milk
  • 1 1/2 cups fried onions

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl.
  2. In a large pot of generously salted boiling water, cook green beans, stirring occasionally, until bright green, 3 to 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer beans to ice bath to cool. Drain and transfer to another large bowl.
  3. In another large pot or saucepan over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Add onion and a large pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, about 8 minutes.
  4. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until mushrooms are browned, about 6 minutes more.
  5. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer onion mixture to bowl with green beans.
  6. In same pot over medium heat, melt remaining 8 tablespoons butter. Add flour and cook, whisking frequently, until golden and smells toasty, about 3 minutes. Gradually whisk in milk; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 4 minutes. Add to bowl with green beans and stir to combine.
  7. Transfer to a 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Bake green bean casserole until warmed through and bubbling, about 30 minutes.
  8. Top with fried onions and continue to bake until warmed through, about 5 minutes more.
