Description
My take on the classic holiday side dish, with fresh mushrooms, cream of mushroom soup, French fried onions, and a touch of Herbs and Garlic. This jazzed up version adds layers of flavor, texture, and irresistible goodness with a crunchy top!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 pounds fresh haricots verts or green beans, trimmed
- 1 1/2 cups fresh mushrooms, very finely diced (a food processor works great for this)
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup milk (or water)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried herbs de Provence (or your favorite herb blend such as Italian or Herbs and Garlic; may sub 1–2 tsp fresh finely chopped herbs)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon table salt
- 1 (6 oz) can French fried onions, divided (I use French’s but any Crunchy Onions are fine)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Butter or grease a 2-quart baking dish.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add green beans and boil for just 4-5 minutes to soften just barely. Immediately transfer to an ice water bath to stop cooking. Drain very well, patting dry with paper towels if needed.
- In a large bowl, stir together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, herbs de Provence, black pepper, and salt. Add the finely diced mushrooms and stir to combine.
- Fold in the blanched green beans. Transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- Top with half of the French fried onions. Bake uncovered for 25 minutes.
- Remove from oven and top with remaining French fried onions. Bake another 10 minutes or until bubbly and crispy golden.
- Let sit 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with more herbs if desired.
Notes
For the green beans, skip the boiling if you prefer fresh, but if using frozen, thaw first and pat dry before adding to the soup mixture. The mushrooms add an extra savory touch, but they can be omitted if you dislike them. This recipe is gluten-free if you use a gluten-free cream of mushroom soup.
