Green Bean Casserole from Scratch
RECIPE: Hi Guys, today I’ll show you How to Make Green Bean Casserole from Scratch. This dish is a must for Thanksgiving and I’m making it without canned soup or canned green beans. The fried onions are also from scratch. We’ll need fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 2 inch pieces. Sliced mushrooms, I’m using baby bellas, you can substitute white button mushrooms or another variety. Thinly sliced yellow onion. Minced garlic. Butter. All purpose flour. Chicken stock and Whole Milk. Grated nutmeg and a little soy sauce. I’ll make the mushroom sauce first then show you how to make fried onions. Heat up a pot and add butter. The sliced onions, stir and cook for a minute. Then the sliced mushrooms. Sauteé until soft. While the mushrooms are cooking, boil water in a pot to cook the green beans. Now the mushrooms have given off their liquid, add the minced garlic. Stir and cook for 2 minutes. To thicken the sauce, all purpose flour. Stir for a minute until the raw flavor of the flour goes away. Then add the chicken stock and milk. Mix that well. Grate the nutmeg into the sauce. Ground black pepper Bring to a boil and cook a minute or two until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Mix in the soy sauce. Set the sauce aside.
The water has come to a boil, now add salt and the green beans. Cook for 7 - 8 minutes until the beans are soft and tender but not mushy. They should not be crunchy, they need to be fully cooked for this dish. After 5 minutes, they’re bright green. After 8 minutes, they’re fully cooked. Drain the beans. The sauce got thick because it was sitting for a while. If you want to make the sauce earlier or the day before, put it in the fridge, just reheat it before adding the beans. Put the beans in and stir to combine. This looks like the canned version but from scratch so it’s even better.
For the fried onions, All we need are sliced yellow onion and buttermilk. If you don’t have buttermilk, put a little vinegar into whole milk and set aside for 15 minutes. Stir that up and it’s a good substitute. I used tongs to mix the onions, then give up and used my hands. Just get in there with your hands and really mix the buttermilk and onions. Set this aside for 15 minutes.
To a bowl, add all purpose flour, salt, ground black pepper and garlic powder. Mix that up.
Take a handful of onions and coat them in the seasoned flour. Put them in another bowl. You only want to coat what you can fit in the frying pan. Don’t coat all the onions at once. Do it in batches.
To fry the onions, heat oil in a pot to 350 degrees F or 180 C. I’m using a wide pan, so I can fry a lot of onions together.
When the oil is hot, put the onions in gently a few at a time. Don’t overcrowd the pan. Fry for just a few minutes until golden, not golden brown. You want them to be lighter in color now because they will get darker in the oven. Drain when they look like this, that’s the perfect golden color.
These are the store bought fried onions and they are really good. So if you don’t want to fry your own onions, you don’t have to. However, this one small bowl of fried onions from the store, 6 ounces is $3 and you’ll need more than one can so $6 for fried onions is expensive. Making your own is definitely cheaper and you’ll have plenty of extra to top your burgers or just snacking which is dangerous so I won’t be making these again anytime soon. I kept eating them as I’m frying batches, it’s impossible not to.
To a casserole dish, add the beans and sauce. Bake in a heated 350 degree oven for 20 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Then cover the top with fried onions and bake for 5 minutes in the oven until they get a little darker in color.
And here is a classic side dish for your Thanksgiving table. Of course you can make it anytime of year, it’s that good.

Perfect Shepherd's/Cottage Pie That Anyone Can Make
So to me, homemade shepherds pie is technically a casserole rather than a pie but that’s beside the point. Now, this is technically a cottage pie rather than a shepherd's pie since we're using beef here. Should you want it traditional you'll just use ground lamb in place of the beef.
