Beans Casserole

A delicious one dish meal

600g beans- halved and rinsed and cooked until crisp-tender
2 medium onions, thinly sliced into rings
2 tbsp bread crumbs( I used whole wheat bread crumbs)
2 tbsp all purpose flour
2 tbsp butter
200g mushrooms, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
2 cups milk
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tbsp oil
salt &pepper

Boil/steam beans in some water until cooked but still crunchy.

In a saucepan heat the oil. Add the onion rings and cook till crispy brown.I also read here that you can bake them instead. So that’s what i did. To do this preheat oven to 300F. Lightly grease a baking tray and spread the onion rings on them and bake 20 minutes or until they turn brownish…Set aside.

In a well buttered pan, add the mushrooms and cook on high flame for no more than a minute or so. Add the garlic cook for another minute and remove and strain.

Add 1 tbsp butter to a saucepan and once it melts add the flour. After a few minutes slowly add the milk.Cook it on low heat for maybe 15 minutes. Stir it every once in a while. Add the salt and pepper and any other seasoning you want to.

Add the mushrooms into this sauce. Take off heat and combine with the cooked beans. Top with the baked(or fried) crispy onions and the bread crumbs

Place into the oven and bake(350F/160C) until bubbly, approximately 15 minutes until browned.

Top with cheese if desired
