Do you like green beans and mushrooms? Well, here's a perfect
casserole to go with any main dish...
1 lb. green beans
4 T. butter, divided
1 small yellow onion
8 oz white mushrooms
¼ t. dried thyme
1/8 t. salt
2 T. all purpose flour
1 cup vegetable broth (or chicken)
2 T. grated Parmesan, divided
1 cup Panko bread crumbs
1. Rinse green beans, snap off stem end and break each bean
into 1-2" pieces. Place beans in medium pot, add about 1" of water. Cover and
bring to boil over high heat. Allow beans to cook in the steam until they are
tender-crisp (about 5 minutes). Drain in colander and set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 375º. Dice onion and cook in large skillet
with 2 T. butter until soft and translucent. While onions cook, clean and slice
mushrooms.
3. Add sliced mushrooms to skillet with onions. Season with
salt and thyme. Continue to cook until mushrooms have softened and most of the
moisture has evaporated from the bottom of skillet.
4. Add flour to skillet and continue to cook and stir for 2
minutes. The flour will form a paste. After 2 minutes, whisk in the broth until
the flour has fully dissolved.
5. Allow mixture to come to simmer, it will thicken slightly.
Whisk in 1 T. grated Parmesan.
6. In separate bowl, melt the remaining 2 T. butter (about
20-30 seconds in microwave). Stir in the Panko crumbs and stir in the remaining
T. of Parmesan. Stir well until everything is evenly coated in butter.
7. Sprinkle the Parmesan/Panko topping over the green beans in
the skillet. Transfer to oven and cook 30 minutes, or until the Panko topping is
golden. Serve hot.
Use an oven safe skillet or transfer the green beans/mushrooms to an 8x8
baking dish and top with Panko breading. Bake as directed.

Later dinner was a steak filet cooked in the Air Fryer and a
stuffed portabello mushroom baked in the oven...
Not fancy, but quick and easy and minimal clean up... having
no working sink, this was the best way to go.
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Monday. Ciao.
