Ingredients

  • 4 cups Fresh Cut Green Beans
  • 16 ounces Mushrooms chopped
  • 1/2 cup onion chopped
  • 2 large Garlic Cloves minced
  • 1.5 cups 2% milk warmed
  • 3 tbsp. Butter
  • 3 tbsp. All Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
  • 1/2 cup Fried Onions store bought, example would be French's brand
  • 1/2 cup Panko Bread Crumbs

Instructions

  • Wash and cut the fresh green beans. Boil them for 5 minutes, strain and set aside.
  • Pour 2 tbsp. of olive oil in a skillet and over medium high heat and saute the mushrooms. Allow them to cook until they begin to get golden then add in the chopped onion and garlic. Cook another 3-5 minutes until the onion is translucent.
  • Add the 3 tbsp. of butter to the pan. When it's almost melted, stir in the flour. Cook the flour and butter mixture for 30 seconds.
  • Gradually pour in the warmed milk as you stir. The mixture will thicken. If it becomes too thick add more milk . The mixture should coat the back of a spoon.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and add in the Parmesan cheese, Greek Yogurt, salt and pepper to taste. Toss in the green beans and turn them in the sauce.
  • Top the mixture with the fried onions and panko bread crumbs. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.

Notes

Make it Gluten Free:  I noticed they do sell french fried onions in the store gluten free. You could omit the bread crumbs or use a gluten free version.
