Ingredients

• 1 Pound (lb) fresh green beans, divided
• Cooking spray
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) unsalted butter
• 1 Cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 1 Medium shallot, sliced
• 1 Clove garlic, minced
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) all-purpose flour
• 0.5 Cup chicken stock
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) Dijon mustard
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) dried thyme
• 0.5 Cup half-and-half
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 1 Pinch ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 Strip bacon, crumbled
• 0.5 Cup French-fried onions, packaged

Steps

1. Bring a large pot of lightly-salted water to a rolling boil. Add the green beans and cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain the beans, run them under cold water, and place them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Once chilled, drain and set aside.
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray the inside of 4 ramekins with cooking spray.
3. Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and shallot, cooking until they start to brown, about 2 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
4. Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms, stirring well to combine. Gradually pour in the chicken stock, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and thyme, stirring constantly. The mixture will be thick. Stir in the half-and-half, salt, and pepper until well combined. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the flavors meld and the sauce thickens, about 3 to 5 minutes.
5. Stir in the green beans and bacon until well combined. Spoon the mixture into the prepared ramekins and top with French-fried onions.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 13 to 15 minutes. Serve immediately.
