Wholefoodsnaturalgreenbeancasserole Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil, season with 2 tablespoons salt, and blanch the green beans for 5 minutes. Shock the green beans in a bowl filled with ice water, then remove and set aside to dry.
• Melt the butter in a large cast-iron pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and cook until lightly browned. Add the mushrooms and some salt and pepper, and cook until just softened. Add the flour and stir to coat the mushrooms and shallots. Add the chicken stock, whisking vigorously to smooth out any lumps. Whisk in the half-and-half. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes. Check the seasoning and adjust with more salt and pepper as needed. Add the green beans, then pour the mixture into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• Bake for 30 minutes. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with fried onions to lend some extra crunch. Serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, white flour, garlic, sea salt, pepper, and cayenne.
• Add onions and stir well or use clean hands to coat.
• Pour buttermilk (soy milk) over onions and toss again to coat well.
• Place breadcrumbs in a separate large bowl. Add olive oil and mix well using clean fingers. Add onions. Toss well, again, coating every onion.
• Coat a large cookie sheet with olive oil. Transfer onions to prepared cookie sheet (I usually use 2). Bake onions for half an hour, or until golden brown and crispy.
• While onions are baking, steam green beans until just tender, about 4-5 minutes. If necessary, drain green beans and return to pan.
• Reduce oven to 350 degrees. Pour mushroom soup into the steamed green beans. Add half the onion rings. Place in an olive-oil sprayed casserole dish. Top with remaining onion rings.
• Bake for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a small casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir to create a smooth paste. Slowly add half-and-half and continue to stir to prevent any lumps. Add soy sauce, salt, and pepper; stir to combine. Taste mushroom gravy and adjust seasoning to your liking.
• Meanwhile, heat chicken broth in a saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil. Add green beans to boiling chicken broth and cook for 6 minutes. Strain green beans and add to mushroom gravy. Transfer mixture to the prepared casserole dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Sprinkle French-fried onions on top and return to the oven. Bake for 5 more minutes and serve immediately.
