Creamy green bean casserole recipe with homemade cream of mushroom soup, topped with parmesan garlic and herb breadcrumbs. 


Ingredients 
For the Green Bean Casserole 

1 lb green beans trimmed 
1 Tbsp butter 
1 Tbsp olive oil 
8 oz mushrooms (cremini, infant Bella, or white) 
1 medium onion chopped 
2 cloves garlic 
2 Tbsp all-purpose flour 
1/2 cup poultry or vegetable stock 
1 cup heavy whipping cream 
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce 
1 Tbsp soybean sauce 
salt to taste 
pepper to taste 
For the Parmesan Herb and Garlic Breadcrumbs 
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs 
• 1/3 cup parmesan cheese 
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder (or 1 tsp garlic flakes) 
• 1 tsp dried parsley 

Instructions 

1. Preheat oven to 375˚F. Place a large pot with water temperature and bring to a boil then add trimmed green beans. Cook/blanch them for 5-10 minutes for beans or 2 minutes for softer beans. Drain and put aside. 

2. At the meantime, Put a large pan and then add 1 Tbsp butter and 1 Tbsp oil, then add chopped mushrooms with a pinch of salt and pepper. Saute until the mushroom liquid has evaporated and mushrooms are golden. 

3. Move mushrooms to one side of the pan and add chopped onion. Saute onions over low heat for a number of minutes then stir them together with mushrooms and saute until onions are soft (6-8 minutes ). Add minced garlic and cook for thirty seconds longer while stirring. 

4. Add 2 Tbsp flour and stir until the flour turns into a paste. Continue cooking 1-a few minutes, stirring continuously until it smells wrinkled, being careful not to burn the mix. 

5. Add the 1/2 cup poultry stock and bring to a boil over moderate heat, stirring continuously and scraping at the bottom of the pan with a spatula. Add 1 cup heavy cream, 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 Tbsp soybean sauce and cook over low until sauce has a creamy and gravy-like consistency (it thickens more as it bakes). Season with salt to taste. 

6. Add blanched green beans to the mushroom sauce and stir to blend then transfer to a casserole dish. 

7. Combine 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1/3 cup parmesan cheese, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tsp dried parsley. Sprinkle over the green bean casserole. Bake uncovered at 375 F for 20 minutes then broil for 2-3 minutes until topping is golden.
