This year I followed Alton Brown's recipe for Green Bean Casserole.
As always, I fry leeks instead of using onions.

Here is the modified recipe.

• 12oz fresh mushrooms, but into 1/2inch pieces (they will cook down)


• 2 Tablespoons butter


• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper


• 1 teaspoon salt


• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg


• 2 Tablespoons White Rice Flour


• 1 Cup Chicken Broth


• 1 Cup Half and Half


• 3 fried leeks

Melt the butter in an oven/stove top safe vessel.
Add mushrooms, salt and pepper for 4-5 minutes, until give up liquid.
Add nutmeg. Cook for another minute.
Sprinkle flour over mushrooms.
When mixture looks dry add broth and allow to simmer for a minute.
Reduce heat to medium low. Add half and half, cook until it thickens.

Remove from heat.
Add green beans and 1/4 of onions/leeks.
Mix well.
Bake in 475 degree oven for 15 minutes.

Casserole should be nice and bubbly.
