Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this sensational dish:

Instructions
Ready to get your hands dirty? Let’s dive into this recipe!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish and set aside.
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and blanch the green beans for about 3-4 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and immediately plunge them into ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Sauté the onion, mushrooms, and garlic until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the heavy cream, soy sauce, black pepper, and salt. Let this simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened.
- Add the blanched green beans to the skillet and stir to combine everything nicely. Then, fold in the crispy fried onions (but not all of them—save some for topping!).
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top with the remaining crispy fried onions.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before serving because, let’s be honest, you don’t want a steamy face while devouring this masterpiece!
