Instructions

Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onion; cook, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes until softened. Stir in flour; cook and stir for 5 minutes more to create a roux. Gradually add vegetable stock and bring mixture to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken. Stir in half & half and season with salt and pepper to taste; set aside.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Blanch green beans in boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain well and add to the prepared mushroom sauce; toss gently to coat evenly. Transfer the mixture to an 11 x 7-inch baking dish.
In a separate bowl, stir together all topping ingredients until well combined. Sprinkle the walnut topping evenly around the edge of the green bean mixture.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
