This comforting casserole is loaded with fresh green beans, creamy mushroom sauce, and topped with crispy fried onions, making it a hearty and flavorful side dish that pairs well with any main course.

Cooking Steps:

1. Prepare the Green Beans: Rinse the fresh green beans under cold water. Trim the ends and cut them into 1 to 2-inch pieces. If you prefer, you can steam them for about 5 minutes until they’re bright green and slightly tender, but not fully soft. Drain and set aside.

4. Add Fried Onions: Gently fold in ¾ cup of the fried onions into the mixture, saving the remaining ¼ cup for the topping. This will add flavor and crunch to the casserole.
5. Heat Through: Continue to cook the mixture on medium heat for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are tender and heated through. You can adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
6. Serve: Once everything is well combined and heated, transfer the green bean mixture to a serving dish. Top with the remaining fried onions for that classic crunch. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious stovetop green bean casserole!
