I'm not sure why I was surprised when I read that this casserole was actually created by Campbell's in 1955. They researched what cans were most likely to be in a household pantry - the answer was green beans and cream of mushroom soup. Add some of their 'fried onions' and poof - casserole. I redid the dish completely from scratch with real food, including doing the mushrooms stroganoff-style with sour cream, thyme, parsley and nutmeg.

The easiest way to trim green beans is to line up a group and trim one side, then turn around the trim the other...repeat, repeat, repeat.

The ice bath will keep your beans crispy and bright - not like the soggy, fuggly ones you get in a can.

Ingredients
- 1 large onion, sliced thinly
- 2 Tbsp flour
- 2 Tbsp EVOO
- 1 Tbsp plus 1/2 tsp salt, divided
- 2 lbs green beans, ends trimmed and halved
- 2 Tbsp butter, preferably plant-based
- 1 lb mushrooms, sliced
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp black pepper and dried thyme, each
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Toss onion slices with flour in a small bowl. In a medium skillet, heat 1 Tbsp EVOO over medium heat. Fry half the onions until lightly browned and remove to a plate lined with a paper towel. Repeat with remaining onions. When finished, set aside.
- Fill a large pot with water and 1 Tbsp salt. Heat over medium-high heat until boiling and add green beans. Cook 3 minutes, drain and plunge into an ice bath to halt the cooking. Drain, rinse with cold water and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook 5 minutes, until most of the liquid has evaporated. Add garlic, black pepper, thyme and remaining 1/2 tsp salt. Cook 3 minutes more and remove from heat. Stir in sour cream, parsley and green beans until combined.
- Spoon mushroom-green bean mixture into a 2-Qt casserole dish. Top with fried onions and bake 15 minutes until heated thoroughly. Serve hot.
