Green Bean Casserole with Crispy Shallots
A holiday green bean casserole is a beloved classic. We stayed true to tradition on this one, pairing tender, sautéed green beans with savory Cremini mushrooms in a rich cream sauce. It’s topped with crispy shallots for added umami flavor and a satisfying crunch.
How to Cook this Tasty Thanksgiving Side
Here’s what you’ll need to bring our Green Bean Casserole with Crispy Shallots to your Thanksgiving table.

Steps:
Use a damp paper towel to gently wipe the cremini mushrooms clean as needed, then thinly slice.
Trim the ends from the green beans if needed, then cut in half.
Heat 2 tbsp. of cooking oil in a nonstick saute pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, carefully add the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 3 min, or until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
