Skillet Green Bean Casserole for Two

Be the first to rate & review!

Green bean casserole is usually built for a crowd, but not this one! It's perfectly portioned for a smaller Thanksgiving and done on the stovetop to free up oven space. Fresh breadcrumbs combined with caramelized onions deliver a savory alternative to the classic fried onions.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

  • ½ cup chopped onion

  • ½ cup fresh breadcrumbs

  • ⅛ teaspoon salt plus 1/4 teaspoon, divided

  • ½ teaspoon chopped fresh thyme

  • ½ cup chopped mushrooms

  • 2 tablespoons dry sherry

  • ½ cup reduced-sodium chicken or no-chicken broth

  • 1 small clove garlic, minced

  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper

  • 2 cups frozen french-cut green beans

  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

  • 2 teaspoons flour

Directions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a small skillet, preferably cast-iron, over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Add breadcrumbs and 1/8 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring, until crispy, 2 to 5 minutes more. Stir in thyme and transfer to a plate. Wipe out the pan.

  2. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring, until they've released their liquid, about 3 minutes. Add sherry and cook until mostly evaporated, about 1 minute. Add broth, garlic, pepper and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; bring to a simmer.

  3. Increase heat to medium-high. Add green beans and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Whisk cream and flour together in a small bowl. Add to the green bean mixture and cook, stirring, until the sauce has thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve topped with the breadcrumb mixture.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
