# What You’ll Need:
→ Vegetables
01 - 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
02 - 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
03 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 8 oz cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
→ Sauce
05 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter
06 - 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
07 - 1 cup whole milk
08 - 1/2 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
09 - 1/2 cup sour cream
10 - 1/2 tsp salt
11 - 1/4 tsp black pepper
12 - 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
→ Topping
13 - 1 1/2 cups crispy fried onions
# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F.
02 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add green beans and cook for 4–5 minutes until bright green and just tender. Drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain again and set aside.
03 - In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add chopped onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened. Add garlic and mushrooms; cook for another 5 minutes until mushrooms are tender and any liquid has evaporated.
04 - Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in milk and vegetable broth. Cook, stirring, until sauce thickens, about 3–4 minutes.
05 - Remove skillet from heat. Stir in sour cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until smooth.
06 - Add drained green beans to the sauce and mix to coat evenly.
07 - Transfer mixture to a greased 2-quart baking dish. Sprinkle 1 cup of crispy fried onions evenly over the top.
08 - Bake for 25 minutes until bubbling. Remove from oven, top with remaining crispy onions, and bake an additional 5 minutes until golden brown.
09 - Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
