Don’t show up to a holiday shindig empty handed!

Showing up with a lackluster passing dish for your Friendsgiving feast, family gathering, or office potluck just isn’t going to cut it this year. Bring a side dish that has main course potential! These rich and flavorful Cheesy French Onion Green Beans should do the trick.

Out with the Classic Green Bean Casserole!

Green bean casserole just doesn’t excite me anymore. Sure, it’s delicious (and a classic), but I’m ready for something a little more sophisticated than the cream-heavy dish for my holiday contribution this year. That’s why I’ve decided to give my green beans a cheesy, melty makeover with slow-cooked sweet onions, mushrooms, and provolone cheese.

I have always loved the rich and complex flavor of French Onion Soup, but as a vegetarian, it’s something I don’t get to eat unless I make it myself. When I was working on my new and improved green bean recipe, the flavors of French Onion Soup seemed like the perfect solution. The traditional beef broth is easily swapped for vegetable stock while the green beans are sturdy enough to hold up to a layer of melted cheese. It was the perfect portable side dish to impress my family and feed my fellow vegetarian friends!

Cook Now, Serve Later

What I love most about this side dish is how versatile it can be. You can slow cook the onions and mushrooms while you boil or steam the green beans, then you toss the two together and pop it in the refrigerator until you are ready to melt the cheese. If you are taking this dish to a Friendsgiving gathering or office potluck, it’s as easy as layering cheese on your precooked veggies and heating at your destination.

I also really love using fresh green beans in steamable bags. They are super simple to cook and there is no need to snip the ends so it really cuts down on the amount of time you spend slaving over a stove. Not to mention fewer dishes to do.

The only part of this recipe that takes a little TLC is caramelizing the onions, but trust me, it’s worth it. You can’t rush the process because the onions will burn in the blink of an eye, so low and slow is key. Keep your heat to medium-low and stir them frequently to cook evenly. Once they are soft and brown, add in your mushrooms and sauté them just until soft. Then you are ready to assemble your dish.

Hi, I'm Liz and the gal behind the Inspector Gorgeous Blog! I love taking the *less healthy* things in my life and transforming them into healthy-ish! For me, that's keeping things mostly plant-based, low in sugar, high in flavor and obviously if we can make it look GORGEOUS...that too.
