Hi! The minced garlic amount is under “for the mushrooms” and gets added in Step 5.

THE BEST green bean casserole I’ve ever had! Left out the parm and used cream instead. Never making this with the canned stuff again. So good I’m making it for Christmas too and will be a staple at Thanksgiving from now on. AMAZING recipe.

This was so good! I love the crispy onions and the kick from the pepper flakes and cheese. I used Parmesan/romano cheese and it was excellent! The fresh green beans gave it really good texture. Overall pretty simple and super delicious!! Will be making it again!

This is now my contribution to every Thanksgiving meal – I will make it every year to make sure it’s there because I like it so much. 2024 is the second year I’ve made it.

A few thoughts from my experience with this recipe so far:

For whatever reason crisping the onions in the oven doesn’t work for me – it just turns out a mess. I go ahead and deep fry onions in oil on the stovetop using “Laura in the Kitchen’s” recipe.

In step 5 for cooking the mushrooms I first cook them in 1/4C. water until all the water’s been absorbed then brown them in butter because of…well, science (trust me, a fun watch):

After cooking the mushrooms, though it’s not explicit in the instructions, it seems easier to remove them from the pan so you can continue with making the roux and sauce. You’ll be mixing the sauteed mushrooms with the cooked green beans and some of the crispy fried onions later. I made the mistake this year of leaving them in the pan and made the sauce over them and was forced to coat all the green beans with the sauce and mushrooms instead of pouring the sauce on top of the already mixed mushrooms & green beans (like the instructions do say).

Step 8 says to stir in minced garlic, but fyi that garlic was already added in step 5 to sautee with the thyme & red pepper flakes – though adding more garlic wouldn’t really be a bad thing it’s just that additional garlic is not specified in the “for the sauce” section of the ingredients list.

It’s a delight of side dish and I’m so glad it exists! Thanks for creating it for us Monique! Happy Thanksgiving!

You can use either – pecorino romano will have a bit more flavor! You could also do half and half.

I try to slice them as thinly as possible while still maintaining their shape!
