Make-Ahead Green Bean Casserole

1. 1

   Coat a 2 1/2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray. Finely mince shallots until you have 3 tablespoons; cut the remaining shallots into 1/8-inch rounds. Set both aside.

2. 2

   Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add beans and cook until tender but still crisp, about 4 minutes. Drain, rinse, and pat dry; set aside.

3. 3

   Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the minced shallots and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in 3 tablespoons flour, then slowly pour in the half-and-half, broth, and soy sauce. Bring to a boil while stirring.

4. 4

   Lower the heat to a simmer and stir until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the green beans and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to the prepared casserole dish, cover, and refrigerate for 8 hours to overnight, or until ready to bake.

5. 5

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

6. 6

   Take the casserole out of the refrigerator and bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, about 30 minutes.

7. 7

   While the casserole bakes, dredge the shallot rings in the remaining flour until evenly coated.

8. 8

   Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Carefully lower the shallots into the hot oil, working in batches if needed. Fry until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes, then drain on paper towels.

9. 9

   Remove the casserole from the oven and top with the fried shallots.
