No holiday meal would be complete without a hearty serving of green bean casserole. This recipe for The Best Green Bean Casserole from Scratch will show you how simple it is to make this classic holiday side dish without using any "shortcut" ingredients. This recipe for green bean casserole starts by making a rich and creamy mushroom sauce made from garlic, mushrooms, onions, herbs, milk, and heavy cream. After the cream sauce has thickened, blanched green beans are stirred into the sauce. The green bean mixture is then topped with French fried onions before baking until golden brown and bubbly.

Green bean casserole is my assignment for Thanksgiving. This year I will have to try this recipe instead of using the "shortcuts".

I've made a green been casserole from scratch, but it was such a pain! I wouldn't mind trying this easier version.
