Tender green beans are folded into a savory mushroom cream sauce, topped with crisp golden onions, and baked until bubbling at the edges. It is a classic American casserole with enough fresh texture and depth for a holiday table or family dinner.

Blanching preserves the beans' color and snap, while a concentrated mushroom sauce adds savory depth without the heaviness of canned soup. The final bake melds the flavors and turns the onion topping crisp and fragrant.
Refrigerate leftovers in a covered container for up to 3 days. For best texture, store extra fried onions separately if making the casserole ahead.
Reheat covered at 175°C until hot throughout, about 20 minutes, then uncover and bake for 5 minutes to re-crisp the topping. Individual portions may be microwaved, though the topping will soften.
