French Onion non-Casserole Casserole
1 lb. Green beans, fresh or frozen, not canned
8-12 oz. Cheese of choice. I used a smoked provologne, you could use Gruyère or something more punchy
3 cloves garlic
1-2 onions, 1 large or 2 medium, I used a red
2 oz olive oil
Fresh Thyme
Kosher Salt
Heat pan, oil
Chop your onions into rings, caramelize. Really, I mean it.
Chop garlic while those are cooking down. you want the garlic to be chunky, so cut into 1/4ths or 1/8ths depending on your cloves.
Toss in your beans and the garlic, toss with the onions, reduce heat.
I let it steam at this point, but I was using frozen beans. If fresh you’ll just want to sautee them on low until they are soft.
At this points your onions won’t really be looking much like onions any more. that’s ok.
Once the beans have softened remove from heat, sprinkle with your choice of cheese. Cover the top, bake long enough so the cheese begins to brown just slightly. Optionally sprinkle breadcrumbs with the cheese.
