Green Bean Casserole v3

Ingredients
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
12 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¹⁄₂ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
¹⁄₄ teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 cups half and half
1 pound frozen cut green beans, cooked and drained
6 ounces French’s fried onions

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350*F. 

2. Melt the butter in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms give up some of their liquid, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and nutmeg and continue to cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir to combine, cook for 1 minute. Add the broth and half and half. Bring to a simmer and stir until the mixture thickens, about 5 to 10 minutes.

3. Remove from heat and stir in half of onions and all green beans.  Bake 25 minutes or until hot and bubbling.  Stir well, top with remaining onions and bake until onions are browned, about 5 minutes. 

Comments
This recipe is my attempt at combining the two previous green bean casseroles I’ve posted.  It was mostly good, but it was still missing something.  I think, maybe, it needed the addition of soy sauce?  I’ll be updating this again in a month or so once I make it again.
