ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE FROM SCRATCH
No cans here! Fresh mushrooms, onion, and herbs with frozen green beans, sour cream, and cheddar cheese make this a delightfully tasty twist on the traditional casserole. I developed this recipe, longing for a 'no cans' version of the classic dish. I made this one year for my husband's family at Christmas time, and now they ask for it every year! My husband asks me to make it for dinner throughout the year.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place green beans into a saucepan and fill with about 1/2 inch of water. Bring to a boil and steam until beans are tender but still bright green, about 5 minutes. Drain and toss with the mushrooms. Set aside.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and parsley; cook and stir until onion is tender. Whisk in flour until blended, then mix in the lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly, so that no lumps form and then stir in sour cream. Warm over medium heat until the sauce begins to bubble. Dump in the green beans and mushrooms, stirring to coat.
- Remove from the heat and toss briefly with some of the Cheddar cheese and French fried onions, saving some of each to sprinkle over the top. Spoon into a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish and top with the reserved onions and cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese melts, about 15 minutes.

Tips:
- Use fresh green beans: Fresh green beans have a better flavor and texture than frozen or canned beans.
- Trim the green beans: Trim the ends of the green beans before cooking. This will remove any tough or woody ends.
- Cook the green beans until they are tender-crisp: Do not overcook the green beans, as they will become mushy. Cook them until they are just tender-crisp.
- Use a good quality cream of mushroom soup: The cream of mushroom soup is a key ingredient in this casserole, so it is important to use a good quality soup. Look for a soup that is made with real mushrooms and has a rich, creamy flavor.
- Add some cheese: Cheese is a great way to add flavor and richness to this casserole. You can use any type of cheese that you like, but cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, and Swiss cheese are all popular choices.
- Top the casserole with crispy fried onions: Crispy fried onions add a nice crunchy texture and flavor to this casserole. You can buy them pre-made or make your own.
