My Favorite Green Bean Casserole

Original Recipe Yield 6 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 cup diced fresh mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 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
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

Directions

  1. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the onions, parsley, and mushrooms in the melted butter until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are giving off their juices, 7 to 10 minutes. Add the flour, salt, pepper, and lemon juice; cook until the flour is slightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir the sour cream into the mixture. Mix the green beans into the mixture. Pour the green bean mixture into a 9-inch square baking dish. Sprinkle the Cheddar cheese over the mixture. Stir the crackers and melted butter together in a small bowl until evenly mixed; spread evenly over the Cheddar cheese layer.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and brown, 20 to 30 minutes.
