HOMEMADE GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Make the onions: In a medium bowl, combine the onions with the flour, bread crumbs and salt, and toss to coat the onion pieces.
• In a heavy skillet with high sides, pour enough oil to reach 1/2-inch up the side. Heat over medium-high until the oil is hot - a drop of water should sizzle and sputter when flicked into the oil.
• Add the onions in batches, taking care not to overcrowd them. Fry until golden-brown (they don't have to be deep brown, as they'll continue cooking in the oven), about 5 to 6 minutes, then use a slotted spoon or a pair of tongs to transfer to paper towels. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Repeat until you've fried all of the onions.
• Butter a shallow 4-quart baking dish and heat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Blanch the green beans: Bring a large pot of water to a boil with an ice bath nearby. When boiling, salt the water generously, add the green beans, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until slightly tender and bright green. Immediately transfer beans to the ice bath. When beans are chilled, drain and set aside.
• Pour water out of the pot, wipe dry and return to the stovetop. Over medium-high heat, melt 3 tablespoons butter. When melted, add the red-pepper flakes and thyme, and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to brown significantly, 8 to 10 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon salt and sliced garlic and stir until fragrant, another 1 to 2 minutes.
• Sprinkle the flour all over and stir to coat the mushrooms. Gradually add the stock and milk, and bring to a simmer, stirring all the while. Turn the heat down to medium and continue to stir until the sauce is thick and creamy and coats the back of a spoon, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat. Add nutmeg, black pepper, vinegar and Worcestershire, if using. Taste for salt, pepper and acidity.
• Add the green beans and half of the onions, stir to combine, and transfer to prepared baking dish. Top with remaining onions and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until bubbling. Serve immediately.

Once done, remove from the oven and set aside until ready to use. Turn the oven down to 400 degrees F.
• While the onions are cooking, prepare the beans. Bring a gallon of water and 2 tablespoons of salt to a boil in an 8-quart saucepan. Add the beans and blanch for 5 minutes. Drain in a colander and immediately plunge the beans into a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a 12-inch cast iron skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, 1 teaspoon salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms begin to give up some of their liquid, approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and nutmeg and continue to cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute. Add the broth and simmer for 1 minute. Decrease the heat to medium-low and add the half-and-half. Cook until the mixture thickens, stirring occasionally, approximately 6 to 8 minutes.

TONY'S DECADENT GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Drain green beans then using clean paper towel and squeeze green beans until they stop giving up water. This will pulverize them, but that's OK. Place in large mixing bowl.
• Add both cans of Cream of Celery soup. The old recipe has always called for Cream of Mushroom, but the Cream of Celery actually provides a better taste. Trust me!
• Now add the entire container of Green Onion Dip and the 2.8 ounce can of the French's French Fried Onions.
• Mix all ingredients. The soups, Dip, and Velveeta have enough salt so no need to season. Most of the time I add lots black pepper because it's what my family likes, but this is truly optional.
• Spread mixture in 9"X13" pan (foil, metal, or glass -- It's your choice).
• Here's the fun part. Take the cubed Velveeta and start sinking it into the mixture. This is a lot of cheese so feel free to reduce the amount if you wish, but the cheesiness is what makes it stand out as a different type of Green Bean Casserole. You will basically have cheese sunk into the mixture all the way across and down the pan. When you are finished take a spatula and smooth the mixture over the top of all of the cheese cubes.
• Cook uncovered in 375 degree oven for 30 minutes.
• Remove from oven and spread the entire 6 ounce can of French's French Fried Onions over the top of the mixture. Return to oven and cook for 5 additional minutes.
• When you serve this version -- People who love things like Hash Brown Casserole and Mac and Cheese will ask you to make it for every Thanksgiving, Potluck, or occasion.
