Ingredients
Here’s what you need:
2.5 lbs French green beans, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 lb mushrooms, sliced
2-4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 large yellow onion, sliced thin
3 tbsp all purpose flour

Salt and pepper to taste
To prepare:
— Preheat oven to 425.
— Toss green beans and mushrooms in bowl with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt and pepper, and spread into a single layer on one or two baking sheets. Roast for 15-20 minutes until tender.
— While green beans are cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in saucepan over medium heat.
— Add onions and cook until soft. Add flour and salt and mix.
— Add milk to onions and gently stir until sauce is thickened (for about 4 minutes).
— Once green beans are done being roasted, preheat oven to broil.
— Transfer half green beans to a baking dish then cover with half the onion sauce. Layer other half of green beans and cover with the rest of the sauce.
— Combine bread crumbs and remaining oil into a small bowl and sprinkle over the top of the green beans.
— Place casserole in the oven on broil for 2-4 minutes, watch until breadcrumbs become brown at the top.
