Ree Drummond’s Legendary Green Bean Casserole | The Pioneer Woman

Ree Drummond, also known as The Pioneer Woman, has taken the classic green bean casserole to a whole new level with her Legendary Green Bean Casserole recipe. This dish is guaranteed to elevate your Thanksgiving banquet and leave your guests coming back for seconds.

To start off, you’ll need to prepare the crispy onion topping. Thinly slice two large white onions and soak them in milk while you heat up vegetable oil in a pot. In a separate bowl, combine flour and seasoning salt before dredging the onions in the mixture and frying them until golden and crisp. Set them aside on a paper towel-lined sheet pan to allow excess oil to drain.

Next, blanch fresh green beans in boiling water for a few minutes, then shock them in ice-cold water to stop the cooking process. In a separate skillet, sauté cremini mushrooms, onions, garlic, and rosemary in olive oil and butter until they’re caramelized and fragrant. Add flour to create a roux, then slowly stir in chicken stock and cream to make a rich and creamy sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Layer half of the blanched green beans in a baking dish, top with half of the mushroom sauce, then repeat with the remaining green beans and sauce. Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the top and bake until bubbly and melted. Let it rest for a few minutes before topping with the crispy fried onions and fresh parsley for a beautiful finish.

This Legendary Green Bean Casserole is a perfect blend of creamy, crunchy, and savory flavors that will surely impress your Thanksgiving guests. So grab your apron and follow along with Ree Drummond’s recipe to create this show-stopping dish for your holiday table. Enjoy!
