I’m stepping up the green bean casserole game with two things: a SIMPLE homemade mushroom cream sauce and tempura battered onion strings. It’s creamy, it’s crunchy, it’s crispy, and it will forever change your green bean ways.

Author's Notes

Saute the vegetables and blanch the green beans the day before to make cooking easy. I recommend making the green beans the day of so they maintain their crispiness.

Blanching the green beans will help to preserve their color and texture for the casserole.

The onions will go FAST, so grab a helper and double the recipe if you'd like.
