Instructions
- Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
- To blanch your beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and boil them for 5 minutes. Drain beans, then plunge them into ice water to full stop them from cooking. Set aside.

- Add the garlic and saute one minute more. Add the flour and stir to coat the mushrooms. Add the broth, 1/4 cup at a time, stirring the whole time. Simmer mixture for 1 minute, then add cream and bring back to a simmer, cooking until the sauce thickens a bit, about 5 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add greens beans to sauce and stir until they are coated. Sprinkle fried onions over the top. Bake for 15 minutes, or until sauce is bubbling and onions are a shade darker.
