Countdown to Thanksgiving, day 2: French Onion ‘Soup’ Green Beans with a crispy Gruyère topping 😌 Recipe: * 3 large white onions, thinly sliced * 4 tbsp butter, divided * 1 tbsp olive oil * Salt and pepper * 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar * 1/2 tbsp brown sugar * 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and halved * 4 slices bacon, cut into bite-sized pieces * 1 pound mushrooms, thinly sliced * 3 garlic cloves, minced * 3 tbsp flour * 1 cup chicken stock (or vegetable stock) * 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce * 1 cup heavy cream (or half and half) * 4 fresh thyme sprigs, stripped * 3 cups grated Gruyère cheese * 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. 2. Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil, and prepare an ice bath to the side. When the water is boiling, add the green beans and cook until slightly tender, 6-7 minutes. 3. Transfer the beans to the ice bath and let cool for 5 minutes. Drain and pat dry or use a salad spinner to remove the excess water. 4. Heat a large braiser or skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and 1 tbsp butter and stir to melt the butter. Add the thinly sliced onions to the pan and season with salt. Sprinkle the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar over the onions and stir to combine. Continue cooking the onions, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and golden brown, about 30 minutes. 5. Remove the caramelized onions from the pan. Add the bacon and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the pan. 6. Add the mushrooms to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and cook until soft, 4-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. 7. Add the remaining 3 tbsp of butter to the pan and melt. Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir to coat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the flour is toasted, about 2 minutes. 8. Whisk the chicken stock into the pan 1/4 cup at a time, scraping up the browned bits at the bottom. When all of the chicken stock has been incorporated, and the Worcestershire sauce. 9. Whisk in the cream and season with additional salt and pepper. Stir in the thyme. Bring the sauce to a light simmer, then reduce the heat to medium low. Continue simmering until the sauce is thickened to your liking (6-7 minutes for a thinner, gravy-like sauce; 10-11 minutes for a thick sauce). 10. Stir in 1 cup of the Gruyère cheese and all of the Parmesan cheese. 11. Add the green beans, 1/2 of the caramelized onions, and bacon to the sauce and stir to coat. Top with the remaining caramelized onions and the remaining Gruyère cheese. 12. Cover the pan and transfer to the oven. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the lid. Continue baking until the top is crispy and golden brown, an additional 10-15 minutes. 13. Remove from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes before serving. #greenbeancasserole #greenbeanrecipe #thanksgivingrecipes #thanksgivingsides #frenchonionsoup

French Onion Soup🧅🌿 Caramelizing the onions may be a bit time consuming, but it is simple to make and honestly nothing is more cozy!! That cheese pull?! Ingredients: * 5 pounds of yellow onions (roughly 5-6 onions) * 3 tbsp butter * 3 tbsp olive oil * 1.5 tsp salt * 1 tsp pepper * 2 tsp sugar * 4 cloves garlic * 3 tbsp flour * 2/3 cup white wine * 8 cups beef broth * Few sprigs of fresh thyme * 2 bay leaves * 1 tsp rosemary (forgot to show in video) * 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce * salt to taste * baguette + olive oil for toasting * Block of Gruyère cheese Get ready to cry… unless you have contacts haha. Thinly slice your onions and add to a large bowl. In a large pot, add in the butter and olive oil on medium high heat. Pour in the onions and add the salt, pepper, and sugar. Stir. The caramelizing process is going to take 45 minutes. Leave the onions alone and stir every 5 minutes. After 15 minutes, turn the heat to medium. Continue to stir every 5 minutes until you hit 30 minutes. Then you’ll need to babysit them, stirring roughly every 2 minutes until you hit 45 minutes. When you get burnt spots on the bottom of your pot, deglaze with a little water. That means you just pour water on the burnt spot, let it sizzle, and scrape with your spatula👍🏻 Add in the garlic and let that cook for about 2 minutes. Then add the flour and stir. Let that cook for roughly 3ish minutes. Pour in the white wine and stir/scrape the bottom of the pot. Then add in your beef broth, fresh thyme, bay leaves, Worcestershire sauce and about another 1/2 tsp of salt. Stir and cover. Let that cook on medium low for 30 minutes. Cut up your baguette and spread/drizzle on some olive oil or butter. Broil them for a few minutes until toasted. Then set the heat to 500°F. Shred your cheese. Pour your soup into a oven safe bowl. Add a little cheese. Then add the toasted baguette slices, then more cheese. Put in the oven and watch closely. Mine was in there for roughly 5 minutes. SO GOOD! #easyrecipes #soupseries #soupseason #frenchonionsoup #frenchfood #souprecipe #autumn #coldweather #foodie #cozy #cozyrecipe
