🥕See the printable recipe card below for complete details.
Instructions
🥕Prepare the mushroom gravy
- Preheat oven to 350°
- Melt 3 tablespoon butter in skillet over medium heat.
- Add garlic and mushrooms. Stir to prevent burning while mushrooms begin to sweat and garlic becomes tender.
- Add basil.
- Stir in flour, whisking into a thick roux (paste-like consistency)
- Whisk in broth.
- Add soy sauce. Continue whisking.
Gradually add milk, a small amount at a time, whisking continuously until gravy is thick and creamy. Add salt & pepper to taste.
Remove gravy from heat.
Place green beans in a baking dish.
Add gravy to green beans, stir to combine.
Stir in ⅔ of onion rings. Reserve the rest.
Cover with foil and bake at 350° for 30 minutes.
Remove from oven. Sprinkle top with remaining onion rings. Continue baking (uncovered) for an additional 5 minutes until onion rings are golden brown.
