Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 350 °F.

Blanch the green beans in boiling water for about 4 minutes for crisper beans or longer for a softer texture. Then plunge in ice water. Drain and set aside.

Place diced onions and mushrooms in a microwaveable bowl and microwave for about 2 1/2 minutes on high to soften. Set aside.

Melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in flour with a whisk and cook for about 1 minute (continuously whisking).
5
Whisk in the milk and cook over low heat until you have a thick white sauce.
6
Stir in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.
7
Stir the drained green beans, onions, and mushrooms into the white sauce (including any liquid with the onions and mushrooms).
8
Pour into a casserole dish sprayed with nonstick spray. Crush the crackers and toss cracker crumbs with olive oil and onion powder. Sprinkle over the top of the casserole.
9
Bake at 350 °F for about 30 minutes or until crackers are golden brown.
