Skinny Green Bean Casserole

Ingredients:
  • 1 (14 oz) bag of frozen whole green beans (or about 4 cups fresh)
  • 1 cup mushrooms, thinly sliced 
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic, chopped

For the Sauce:
  • 1 cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt (or low-fat sour cream)
  • 1 tsp corn starch
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 pkt Stevia (or 1/2 tsp sweetener of choice)

For the Topping:
  • 1 tbsp minced dried onion
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs 

Instructions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a large baking dish with cooking spray and set aside. Meanwhile, spray a large skillet with cooking spray. Sautee the onions, garlic and mushrooms in 1/2 cup water, stirring occasionally until the water is completely evaporated. Remove onions and mushrooms from pan and place in a medium bowl.
  2. If using frozen green beans, thaw the green beans in the microwave for 5-10 minutes or until thawed. (If using fresh, steam green beans, snip off the ends and place beans in a large pot of boiling water for about five minutes or until tender and drain). Add green beans to the bowl with the mushrooms and onions. Let cool to room temperature before adding sauce mixture.
  3. In a small bowl, mix ingredients together to make the sauce. Add sauce to the green beans and toss until everything is well coated. Add everything to prepared baking dish.
  4. Mix topping in a small bowl and sprinkle evenly over the top. Bake (uncovered) 35-40 min or until topping is golden brown. Serve warm.
