December 3: National Green Bean Casserole Day

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

     Title: N.Y.T.     Green Bean Casserole
Categories: Beans, Vegetables, Dairy
     Yield: 7 servings

     2 c  Chicken broth
     2 lb Frozen cut green beans,
          - thawed
     1 ts Celery salt
          Salt & fresh ground pepper
     2 tb Unsalted butter
     2 tb A-P flour
     2 c  Heavy cream
   1/4 ts Ground nutmeg
     6 oz Can store-bought crispy
          - onions

 Set the oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.

 To a medium lidded saucepan, add the chicken broth, 1
 pound green beans and 1/2 teaspoon celery salt. Season
 with salt and pepper. Cover and bring to a boil over
 high. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer, still
 covered and stirring occasionally, until the beans are
 very tender, about 20 minutes.

 About 10 minutes before the beans are done cooking, melt
 the butter in a large, oven-safe skillet over
 medium-high. Add the flour and whisk until smooth and
 beginning to turn golden, 1 to 2 minutes.

 Slowly add the heavy cream to the flour mixture,
 whisking constantly, followed by 1 cup of the green bean
 broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to
 medium-low and cook, whisking occasionally, until thick
 enough to coat the back of a spoon, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir
 in the nutmeg and remaining 1/2 teaspoon celery salt,
 and season assertively with salt and pepper. (The sauce
 should taste overly seasoned at this stage.)

 Drain the green beans and add to the sauce. Add the
 remaining thawed frozen green beans, season to taste
 again with salt and pepper, if needed, and stir to
 combine.

 Transfer the creamy beans to a 2-quart casserole dish or
 keep in the skillet. Top with the crispy onions. Bake
 until golden brown on top, about 10 minutes. Let sit to
 cool and set before serving, at least 5 minutes.
