Skinny Green Bean Casserole image

My aunt makes this every year for Thanksgiving, and it's wonderful. It's a little bit more wholesome than the ones with the cream of soups, but just as good!

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 19

nonstick cooking spray
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
½ cup coarse bread crumbs, or more to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch dried parsley flakes, or to taste
2 cups skim milk
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 small yellow onion, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
3 cups mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup nonfat sour cream
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch ground nutmeg
1 (9 ounce) package frozen cut green beans

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spray a casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Heat olive oil for topping in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until just golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Mix bread crumbs, salt, pepper, and parsley together in a bowl. Toss onions in bread crumb mixture until fully coated. Set topping aside.
  • Pour milk into a microwave-safe bowl and add bay leaf. Heat in a microwave until scalding, about 1 minute; remove bay leaf. Set aside.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook and stir until just golden, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; cook until mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes more. Sprinkle flour over mixture and saute until flour is starting to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Slowly stir in milk and bring to a simmer; cook until thickened, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and add sour cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Adjust seasonings if necessary.
  • Place green beans into the bottom of the prepared casserole dish and pour sauce over green beans. Top with bread crumb-onion topping.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden and bubbly, 15 to 25 minutes.
