Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • nonstick cooking spray

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 3 ½ ounces sliced fresh mushrooms

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • ¾ cup half-and-half

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 1 pinch ground black pepper

  • 6 cups chicken broth

  • 8 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed and snapped

  • ⅓ cup French-fried onions

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a small casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.
