Ultimate Green Bean Casserole Recipe From Scratch

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 0.5 cup diced onion
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 1 cup diced fresh mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 (14.5 ounce) cans French-style green beans, drained
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 cup crushed buttery round crackers
• 0.25 cup melted butter

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Sauté the onions, parsley, and mushrooms until the onions become translucent and the mushrooms release their juices, approximately 7 to 10 minutes. Incorporate the flour, salt, pepper, and lemon juice, cooking for 2 to 3 minutes until the flour lightly browns. Stir in the sour cream until well combined. Gently fold the green beans into the creamy mixture. Transfer the green bean mixture into a 9-inch square baking dish. Generously sprinkle Cheddar cheese evenly over the top. In a separate small bowl, combine the crackers with the melted butter until uniformly coated; then, evenly distribute this mixture over the cheddar cheese layer.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until the casserole is bubbly and golden brown, about 20 to 30 minutes.
