Ingredients
Green Bean casserole
  • 3 lbs. green beans
  • 2 tbsp. butter
  • 8 oz. mushrooms, chopped
  • 2 tbsp. flour
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1½ cups milk
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
Onion Rings
  • 1 large yellow onion, cut into rings
  • ¾ cup all purpose flour
  • 1½ tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp. onion powder
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • Oil for frying
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Rinse and drain green beans. Trim ends and then cut green beans into 2-3 inch pieces.
  3. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Boil green beans for two minutes and then drain.
  4. In a large pan, melt butter. Add mushrooms and cook until tender.
  5. Stir in flour.
  6. Add heavy cream, milk, salt, and pepper and whisk to combine. Reduce to a simmer then stir in parmesan cheese.
  7. Combine your green beans and creamy mushroom sauce together in a large bowl then transfer to a baking dish that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minute until bubbling.
  9. While your green bean casserole is cooking, make your onion rings. In a shallow dish, mix together flour, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Have your beaten eggs in another small dish. Heat the oil over medium heat. To see when it's ready for frying, use one of the smaller onion pieces in the oil. It should sizzle right away. Take the onion rings and dip them in the beaten egg, then coat all over in the flour mixture, then dip in the hot oil. It will only take a few minutes to cook the onion rings on one side so keep a close eye on them! Use tongs to flip then transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
  10. Top the casserole with your freshly made onion rings and serve immediately. Enjoy!
