Ingredients
- 2 pounds fresh green beans, cut into small-sized pieces
- 1 batch Mushroom Alfredo Sauce
- 1 batch Crispy Onion Topping
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil, divided
- 1 medium red onion, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon each fine sea salt and freshly-cracked black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
- 8 ounces baby Bella mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup vegetable stock
- 1 cup milk (I used 2%, but any milk will do)
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Heat oven to 375-degree Fahrenheit.
- The first step involves cooking the green beans in a large bowl for about 3 to 5 minutes. The duration of cooking will entirely depend on how crispy you want the green beans to be.
- Now, use a slotted spoon and transfer the beans into a bowl filled with ice water. Going forward, stir the beans to halt the cooking.
- Then, transfer the onion in a separate plate and saute the Panko breadcrumbs in butter until it turns golden in color. Then, take a bowl and add onions, Panko, Parmesan, salt, and pepper and stir thoroughly.
- While preparing Alfredo Sauce, briefly rinse and dry a saute pan. Now, pour butter on the pan and melt it over medium heat. Add mushrooms and saute for 5 minutes
- Stir until it turns light brown and soft. Add garlic and saute it
- Again, stir the contents and add the vegetable stock
- Stir the contents thoroughly. Continue cooking until the mixture thickens. Next, remove the heat and season it with salt and pepper.
- Mix the green beans and mushroom alfredo sauce and stir the mixture. Next, spread the green bean mixture in an even layer. Then, sprinkle the onion topping mixture uniformly.
- Bake it for 25 minutes.
- Finally, remove the bowl from the oven and serve warm.
