The best Healthy Green Bean Casserole is perfect for any holiday meal and tastes absolutely amazing. This upgraded version with fresh green beans and almonds tastes even better than the original.
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender crisp. Immediately add to an ice bath to stop the cooking. Strain and dry.
Step 2
Melt 1 tbsp. of butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook 5-7 minutes until tender but still maintaining their shape. Remove. Add the breadcrumbs to the pan and toast for 1-2 minutes until light brown. Add to the cooked shallots. Stir in the sliced almonds. Set aside.
Step 3
Wipe out the pan with a paper towel. Add the remaining 1 tbsp. of butter. Once melted, add the mushroom and cook 6-8 minutes until tender. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Add the flour and stir well. Cook for 1 minute. Add the milk and bouillon cubes. Bring to a simmer and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring often, until thick and creamy. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
