Calories: 201kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
- ¼ cup unsalted butter divided
- ½ cup onion diced
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ⅔ cup chicken stock
- ⅔ cup heavy cream
- 3 ounces cream cheese cut into cubes
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Kosher salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- ½ cup pork rinds crushed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 1.5-quart baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Blanch the green beans for 2-3 minutes or until bright green, then drain. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and set aside to cool.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat, then add the onion and sauté for 3 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms and garlic to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are browned and releasing liquid.
- Transfer the vegetables to the bowl with the green beans.
- Return the skillet to the heat and melt the remaining butter. Add the chicken broth, cream, cubed cream cheese, and mustard and stir until melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until thickened. Remove from the heat, pour over the green beans, and mix well.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Bake for 15 minutes, then sprinkle the crushed pork rinds evenly over the casserole and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the edges are bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and cool before serving.
Notes
- This recipe can be made using frozen green beans instead of fresh ones. Thaw them first, and skip the blanching step.
- If using fresh green beans, don't skip the blanching step.
- Make ahead up to 2 days before. Follow all the steps, just don't bake. When ready, set casserole on counter for 30 minutes to bring to room temperature. Then follow baking directions.
- Travel tip - If going to a nearby house for a holiday dinner party. Bake for the fist 15 minutes at home, then cover tightly with foil and wrap in kitchen towel. 20 minutes before you sit down to eat, top with crushed pork rinds and bake for another 15 minutes, to get that perfectly crispy topping.
