The green beans and creamy white sauce are topped with crisp fried onions. If you want to use frozen or canned green beans, go for it! Canned green beans don't need to be cooked ahead of time. This will give them the right amount of crispness! If you want the green beans to be a little more bite-size, I suggest cutting them in half. It is important to cook the green beans in boiling water before baking them with the sauce. I use fresh green beans in this recipe and just snap off the stems.
The star ingredient is definitely the green beans. It is a simple cream sauce, but the caramelized onions, mushrooms, garlic, and spices make it taste so savory. The cream sauce is made with half-n-half, spices, and flour or cornstarch to thicken it. Garlic is the ultimate flavor enhancer, bringing a punch to the sauce. Once the onions are tender and golden, the mushrooms are added to the pan to bring out their natural nutty flavors. This all begins with sauteeing onions in a good amount of butter in order to caramelize them. The key to a killer green bean casserole is to create layers upon layers of flavors. After some experimenting, I have to say that we were blown away by these creamy green beans with crispy onions! You will definitely forget you are eating a vegetable. There had to be a better way! I wanted to make a homemade from scratch green bean casserole that had all of the flavors, but used fresh ingredients. Growing up, I always had the green bean casserole straight from the back of the cream of mushroom soup can. A classic old-fashioned Thanksgiving side dish recipe. A homemade green bean casserole made from scratch with a creamy sauce and crispy fried onions.
