Ingredients
- 4 cups green beans, trimmed
- 1 cup onion, diced
- 2 cups mushrooms, diced
- 1 tablespoon butter, unsalted
- 2 tablespoons all purpose-flour
- 1 cup milk, skim
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 16 crackers, whole wheat, low sodium
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a casserole dish with nonstick spray.
- Blanch the green beans in boiling water for about 4 minutes for crisper beans or longer for a softer texture. Then plunge in ice water. Drain and set aside.
- Place diced onions and mushrooms in a microwaveable bowl and microwave for about 2 1/2 minutes on high to soften. Set aside.
- Melt the butter over medium heat in a skillet. Once melted, stir in flour with a whisk and cook for about 1 minute (continuously whisking).
- Whisk in the milk and cook over low heat until you have a thick white sauce, about 7 minutes.
- Stir in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.
- Stir the drained green beans, onions, and mushrooms into the white sauce (including any liquid with the onions and mushrooms). Pour into prepared dish.
- Crush the crackers and toss cracker crumbs with olive oil and onion powder. Sprinkle over the top of the casserole. Bake 30 minutes until browned.
