LC Green Bean Casserole

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 35 minutes

Total Time: 50 minutes

Servings: 4-6

Ingredients

• 3 cups fresh green beans, sliced into smaller pieces
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 1/2 cups button mushrooms, sliced
• 2 small onions, thinly sliced
• 1 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 cup cream cheese
• 1/2 cup chicken stock
• 1 teaspoon LC Thick’n Saucy
• 1/4 cup parmesan, grated
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated
• salt and ground black pepper, to taste

Directions  

1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF
2. Boil the green beans in well salted water until fork tender. Approximately 10 minutes. Drain the water and set aside.
3. While the green beans boil, mix the Thick’n Saucy with the chicken stock and set aside.
4. Heat oil over medium low heat. Add the onions and fry until crispy, but not burnt. Remove the onions from the pan and place on a paper towel lined plate to remove excess oil.
5. In the same pan, sautee the mushrooms and garlic until the mushrooms soften, about 15-20 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and the nutmeg.
6. Add the chicken stock mixture and be sure to scrape all the bits from the bottom of the pan.
7. Add the cream cheese and allow it to melt and warm up. Taste test and add salt if needed.
8. Mix in the green beans until everything is evenly combined and transfer into a casserole dish.
9. Top with parmesan and the crispy onions.  Bake about 10-15 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling.
10. Enjoy!
