Green Bean Casserole

Ingredients

Olive oil
1 lb button mushrooms (or any other kind you prefer)
6 tbsp butter
2 cups chicken/vegetable broth
2 cups whole milk
6 tbsp flour (sweet rice flour preferably, but brown rice flour works ok too)
1 tsp dry mustard
less than 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper for a little kick (optional)
salt to taste (maybe 1 1/2 tsp)
pepper
french fried onions (best to prepare these ahead of time—see recipe on this site for gluten-free)
1 3/4 – 2 lbs fresh green beans, cleaned and cut into 2 inch pieces
1 tbsp soy sauce

Instructions

1 – Prepare the french fried onions. It would be best to prepare these ahead of time. (See recipe on this site.)

2 – Saute mushrooms in olive oil and set aside.

3 – Prepare cream of mushroom soup.

4 – Melt butter in a large saucepan and once the butter starts to bubble, add flour.

5 – Add spices. Once the roux has cooked/bubbled for a few minutes, add milk and chicken/vegetable broth. Whisk until the sauce thickens.

6 – Once the sauce has thickened add in mushrooms.

7 – Cook green beans for 4-5 minutes until bright green. Strain the water from the green beans. Once they are done, put the green beans in a large casserole dish.

8 – Mix in the soup and soy sauce.

9 – Top with the french fried onions.

10 – Bake for about 35 minutes at 350 degrees or until bubbly.
