Green Bean Casserole with Madeira Mushrooms
Photo: Charles Masters
Here's a deliciously updated version of the classic, with fresh green beans and wine-infused mushrooms. We just had to keep the fried onion topping, which is arguably the best part.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°.
Step 2
Place beans into a large saucepan of boiling water; cook 4 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water; drain well. Place beans in a large bowl; set aside.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add onion and thyme to pan; sauté 4 minutes or until onion is tender, stirring occasionally. Add mushrooms; sauté 10 minutes or until liquid almost evaporates, stirring frequently. Stir in wine, salt, and pepper; cook 2 minutes or until liquid almost evaporates. Stir in flour; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually stir in chicken broth; bring to a boil. Cook 1 minute or until thick, stirring constantly. Add mushroom mixture to green beans; toss well. Place green bean mixture in a 2-quart glass or ceramic baking dish. Combine fried onions and grated cheese in a small bowl. Top green bean mixture evenly with fried onion mixture. Bake at 425° for 17 minutes or until top is lightly browned.

Would not make again as written, not flavorful. True, beans need to cook longer if you do not like them "al dente".

I'm not a big fan of green bean casserole but we really liked this version and will be serving it on Thanksgiving. I found Shitake mushrooms but also used dry sherry-I'll buy some Madeira for Thanksgiving. Easy to make as well!

I thought this was amazing, but then again, I haven't ever had traditional green bean casserole. I also made the following changes to make it easier: used dry thyme instead of fresh, used Burgundy wine instead of Madeira, and used sliced baby bellas (8 oz). Our family loved it!

This recipe turned out so bad. I don't care for crunchy beans and I should have cooked the beans longer. The other ingredients clumped up and tasted terrible.
Even my opossum wouldn't eat it.
Never going back to my old recipe
