GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE

Yield: 6 servings

Source: Forbidden Foods Diabetic Cooking

View recipe: http://diabeticgourmet.com/recipes/html/620.shtml

Ingredients

2 teaspoons canola oil

1 large onion, thinly sliced

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3-1/4 cups sliced mushrooms

1 clove garlic, minced

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 (16 ounce) can low-fat, low-sodium chicken broth

1 bay leaf

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Pinch freshly ground nutmeg

3/4 cup low-fat sour cream

Fresh ground black pepper to taste

1/2 cup cornflake crumbs

1 pound frozen green beans, or 4 cups lightly steamed green beans

Directions

In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over low heat. Add the sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Set aside. (This step may be done up to 2 days in advance; store, covered, in the refrigerator.)

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

In a large nonstick saucepan or Dutch oven, heat the remaining oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring frequently, until translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and garlic; continue cooking until the mushrooms release their juices, about 4 minutes.

Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms. Cook, stirring, 2-3 minutes, then gradually stir in the broth. Add the bay leaf, thyme, and nutmeg; simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in the sour cream, season with pepper, and remove the bay leaf. Set aside.

In a small bowl, combine the reserved onion topping with the cornflake crumbs, coating thoroughly.

In a 2-quart baking dish, add green beans. Top with the sauce, then evenly scatter the onion mixture on top. Bake until bubbling, 20-25 minutes.
