Instructions
- Blanch green beans: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Blanch green beans in boiling salted water for 5-8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté mushrooms and onions: Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté mushrooms until golden brown. Add onion and cook until softened. Stir in garlic.
- Make sauce: Add flour to the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and stir in heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Simmer until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
- Combine and bake: Add green beans to the sauce and stir to combine. Transfer to a casserole dish. In a separate bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and parsley. Sprinkle over the casserole. Bake for 20 minutes, then broil for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
