How to make green bean casserole:

Ingredients:

• Fresh green beans for a crisp, garden-fresh taste
• Butter to enrich the casserole with a creamy texture
• Onion, caramelized to perfection, for a deep, sweet flavor
• Milk and heavy cream (or half-and-half) for a luxurious sauce
• A blend of salt and pepper for seasoning
• All-purpose flour to thicken the sauce to just the right consistency
• Italian seasoning (or a mix of dried thyme and oregano) for an aromatic touch
• A hint of cayenne pepper to add a gentle heat (optional)
• Parmesan cheese for a savory, cheesy crust

Steps to Culinary Delight:

1. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it's ready for baking.
2. Caramelize the onions in melted butter with a pinch of salt until they're golden and sweet.
3. Blanch the green beans in boiling water for 5 minutes until vibrant and tender-crisp, then cool in ice water to preserve their color.
4. Create a roux with butter and flour, then whisk in cold milk, adding spices and seasoning for a rich white sauce.
5. Assemble the casserole with a layer of caramelized onions, followed by green beans, and smother with the white sauce.
6. Top with breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese for a crunchy, golden topping.
7. Bake until bubbly and golden, about 30 minutes, for a dish that's as beautiful as it is delicious.
