Thanks to Something extra the green bean casserole has a tasty new low fat look without losing any of its flavor. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons smart balance light butter spread |
1 cup onion, chopped |
4 ounces mushrooms, chopped |
3 tablespoons flour |
1 1/2 cups chicken stock |
1/2 cup fat-free half-and-half |
salt |
pepper |
1 1/2 lbs fresh green beans, cleaned and trimmed |
3/4 cup seasoned croutons, crushed (may want to only use half the croutons as they can be over powering, up thanks to review) |
3/4 cup walnuts, chopped |
2 tablespoons smart balance light butter spread |
1/2 cup onion, minced |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F Melt spread in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and mushrooms; cook, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes. Stir in flour; cook and stir for 1 minute more.
2. Slowly stir in stock and bring mixture to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in half & half, salt and pepper.
3. Cook beans in boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain well, then stir into mushroom sauce. Transfer to a 11 x 7 inch or 2 quart baking dish.
4. Stir together all topping ingredients and sprinkle around the edge of the beans. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown on top.
