Ingredients

--> Sauce

1 1/2 tablespoons butter

3 tablespoons flour

3/4 cup evaporated milk

3/4 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon concentrated chicken soup base

1/2 teaspoon celery salt

2 pinches nutmeg

1/8 teaspoon white pepper

--> Filling

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon butter

1 cup chopped onions

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 (3 ounce) can chopped mild green chilies

1 1/2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms

1 1/4 lbs fresh green beans, steamed until crisp-tender

--> Topping

1 1/4 cups fresh breadcrumbs

3 tablespoons butter, melted

1/4 teaspoon ground sage or rubbed sage

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

(If you haven’t steamed your green beans, begin with those – they’ll be done, about 20 minutes, by the time you need to mix them into the casserole.).

Begin the sauce: in a saucepan melt the butter over low heat, then whisk in the flour, stirring continually, and cook for 2 minutes (the mixture will be quite thick).

Gradually add the milk while whisking, and bring to a simmer; cook, whisking continually, for 3 or so minutes and it thickens.

Add the concentrated chicken base, celery salt, nutmeg, and white pepper; whisk well to make sure chicken base is dissolved, remove from heat and set aside.

Begin the filling: in a large nonstick skillet, melt together the olive oil and butter over medium heat; add the onion and garlic, and sauté until onion begins to soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.

Add the chopped mild green chiles, stir well to combine, and let the mixture brown for about 3 minutes without stirring.

Add the sliced mushroom, cover, and sauté, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes; remove about half of the mushroom mixture from the pan and set it aside.

In a 1 1/2 quart lightly-sprayed casserole dish, combine the half of the mushroom mixture from the pan, the cooked green beans, and the white sauce; taste test and adjust salt and pepper, if necessary.

Combine the remaining mushroom mixture with the bread crumbs; combine the melted butter and the sage, then stir it into the crumb mixture.

Spread the crumb mixture over the beans.

Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
