About 1 cup full<\/li>\n<li>1 1\/2 pounds of thin fresh string beans, preferably trimmed<\/li>\n<li>1 pound of sliced button mushrooms<\/li>\n<li>6 large and minced garlic cloves<\/li>\n<li>1 tablespoon of freshly chopped thyme<\/li>\n<li>3 cups of low-fat milk, either 1 or 2%.<\/li>\n<li>3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour<\/li>\n<li>1\/3 cup, plus 2 tablespoons, of freshly grated parmesan cheese<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 cup of finely chopped parsley<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 teaspoon of grounded nutmeg<\/li>\n<li>Salted and freshly ground peppers, as much as you like, personal preference.<\/li>\n<li>Olive oil cooking spray<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"justify\">Once we have all the ingredients together, it\u2019s time to get cooking. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First, we\u2019ll preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and heat the olive oil over a medium-to-high heat, until it\u2019s warm but no exactly emitting smoke.<\/li>\n<li>Then, we\u2019ll add a \u00bc cup of our shallots and stir it until it\u2019s been cooked to a golden brown light crisp; this takes usually up to 2-3 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Once cooked, make sure the shallots are drained of the oil and put into a plate. Repeat the process until all the shallots are cooked and make sure to save and leave the oil on your pan\/skillet.<\/li>\n<li>Next we will steam cook the green beans for about 3-4 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"justify\">Now that the green beans and shallots are cooked, it\u2019s time to start preparing the casserole dish. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Take about 1 tablespoon of the left over oil from the shallots and put into a larger non-stick skillet and heat on medium-to-high heat. <\/li>\n<li>While heating the oil, start adding your mushrooms to allow them to cook and stir them occasionally until the mushrooms begin to visibly brown. This normally takes around 10-12 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Mix in the garlic and thyme, stir for about a minute, and then pour the mixture into a bowl. <\/li>\n<li>With the skillet still heated, whisk milk and flour together until they are a homogenous mix and add the mix to the skillet. Then re-add your mushroom mixture and steadily whisk it until the mixture starts simmering. <\/li>\n<li>Lower the heat and allow the mixture to thicken. This usually takes about 15 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Remove the mushroom\/flour\/milk mixture from the heat and stir it together with the green beans and add the Parmesan cheese, parsley, nutmeg, \u00be teaspoons of salt, and \u00bd teaspoon of pepper. <\/li>\n<li>Finally, spray a large baking dish with cooking oil and transfer the new green bean mix into the dish. Spread the cooked shallots on top and sprinkle the dish with any leftover cheese. <\/li>\n<li>Let bake for about 20 minutes or until the dish is gold color.<\/li>\n<li>Enjoy!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Casseroles are a staple for any family\u2019s weekly dinner plans.
