Homemade Green Bean Casserole
It’s easy to make your own casserole sauce with chicken broth. This classic holiday green bean and side dish is savory, bubbly and delicious.
4 cans (14.5 oz. each) any style Del Monte® Green Beans, well drained
2 2/3 cups French’s® Original Crispy Fried Onions, divided
2 1/2 cups College Inn® Chicken Broth
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. each ground black pepper and garlic powder
1/8 tsp. each dried sage, dried crushed rosemary and dried thyme
Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly coat a shallow, 3-qt. baking dish (such as 9x13-inch) with non-stick cooking spray. Place beans evenly in baking dish; sprinkle with 1 1/3 cups onions. Set aside.
Meanwhile, whisk together broth, milk, flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder and dried sage, rosemary and thyme in a medium saucepan until no lumps appear. Cook about 6 minutes over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until thickened. Pour over beans and onions.
Bake 25 minutes or until the bean mixture is hot and bubbling. Stir and sprinkle with the remaining onions. Bake 5 minutes or until the onions are golden brown.
VARIATION: For Green Bean Mushroom Casserole, prepare as recipe directs, except: Before preparing the sauce in Step 2, drain 1 can (8 oz.) Del Monte® Mushroom Stems and Pieces and pat very dry with paper towels. Heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil in the saucepan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; cook about 8 minutes until golden brown in areas. Leave the mushrooms in the pan and proceed as directed.
