Ingredients

  • 16 ounces green beans bag (thawed), or fresh green beans that have been trimmed and broken
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms sliced (optional, white or button mushrooms will also work)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • kosher or sea salt to taste
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth fat free, low sodium
  • 1 cup milk low fat
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 cup reduced-fat cheddar cheese (shred block cheese for an easier melting cheese vs pre-shredded)
  • Baked Onion Ring's Recipe, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Add oil to a large skillet, heat to medium, saute mushrooms until tender and they begin to release moisture, approximately 5 minutes. Add minced garlic to mushrooms and continue to saute for one additional minute. Add cornstarch and stir to combine. Add broth and green beans, cook until liquid begins to thicken and green beans are slightly tender, approximately 10 minutes.
  • Stir milk into green bean mixture, pour into a 2 quart casserole dish. Add 1/2 cup shredded cheese and stir to combine. Bake until hot and bubbly, approximately 20 minutes. Sprinkle remaining cheddar cheese on top and bake an additional 8 to 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

Notes

If you plan to use the recipe for Baked Onion Rings, add half to the green bean mixture and evenly distribute the other half on top before baking.

  1. This looks great! Do you think it would be rich enough if I did the onion rings but left off the cheese? I've honestly never had green bean casserole with cheese before.
