A new take on a fall family favorite, this dish can be assembled quickly and easily using pan lining paper. Simply pop the casserole dish into the oven 20 minutes before dinner and serve.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed and halved
3 tablespoons butter
12 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
2/3 cup heavy cream
1 – 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 can (2.8 ounces) of fried onions
Optional: 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Prep:

1. PREHEAT oven to 400^o F degrees. Line a 13x9x2-inch baking dish with Reynolds Wrap® Pan Lining Paper with parchment paper side toward food. Crimp pan lining paper around rim of casserole dish; set aside.
2. BOIL green beans in a large pot of salted water for 5 minutes. Drain beans and then immerse in ice water bath to fully stop them from cooking. Drain again, and set aside.
3. MELT the butter in a large sauce pan. Add the mushrooms and garlic, cover and cook over moderate heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the flour and gradually stir in the stock until smooth.
4. SIMMER mixture for 2 minutes, then add cream and bring back to a simmer, cooking until the sauce thickens a bit, about 5 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. ADD beans to the sauce and stir to coat evenly. Pour mixture into lined casserole dish.
6. Top with cheddar cheese and fried onions.

Cook:

1. BAKE for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
2. SERVE hot. Top with more cheese or fried onions (optional), and season with salt and pepper to taste (optional).

Reynolds Kitchen Tip: Use pan lining paper as a tear resistant liner, so you’ll have no problem scooping and serving your casserole right from the dish. Plus, it eliminates time-consuming scrubbing and soaking to remove baked-on cheese from the casserole dish. The best and fastest way to use pan lining paper? Turn your pan upside down and press a sheet of pan lining paper around it with parchment side facing the dish. Remove pan lining paper, flip dish over and drop pan lining paper inside. Crimp the edges around rim of dish. For added flavor and color, stir in 1 teaspoon curry powder with your flour.
