Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans (ends cut off)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons butter (unsalted)
- 1 onion (diced)
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 3/4 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon Seasoned Salt
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup milk
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese (optional)
- 1 ½-2 cups Crispy Fried Onions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Cut the green beans into thirds. Blanch the green beans in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender and crisp, about 3-4 minutes. Cool in a bowl of ice water. Drain well and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water; set aside.
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 7 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and Seasoned Salt. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in heavy cream, milk, and Worcestershire.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and stir in cornstarch mixture until sauce is thickened about 2-3 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in blanched green beans.
- Add green bean mixture to the prepared baking dish. If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle over the top and then add the fried onions. Place into oven and bake until bubbly and golden brown, about 20 minutes.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
If you prefer to use canned green beans they don't need to be blanched.
