Ingredients

• Nonstick cooking spray
• 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) unsalted butter, melted
• 3.5 Ounces (oz) fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 1 Clove garlic, minced
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) all-purpose flour
• 0.75 Cups half-and-half
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) soy sauce
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) salt
• 1 Pinch black pepper, ground
• 6 Cups chicken broth
• 8 Ounces (oz) fresh green beans, torn
• 0.33 Cups French-fried onions

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a small casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
3. Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir to create a smooth paste. Slowly add half-and-half and continue to stir to prevent any lumps. Add soy sauce, salt, and pepper; stir to combine. Taste mushroom gravy and adjust seasoning to your liking.
4. Meanwhile, heat chicken broth in a saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil. Add green beans to boiling chicken broth and cook for 6 minutes. Strain green beans and add to mushroom gravy. Transfer mixture to the prepared casserole dish.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Sprinkle French-fried onions on top and return to the oven. Bake for 5 more minutes and serve immediately.
