Ingredients

• 4 cups green beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups milk
• 0.5 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 3 cups stuffing mix, prepared according to package instructions
• 0.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring constantly to form a roux. Cook the roux for about 1 minute, then gradually whisk in the milk and broth. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the mixture thickens, stirring frequently to avoid lumps.

Step 5

Add the cream cheese to the sauce and stir until fully melted and incorporated. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 6

Combine the cooked green beans and the creamy sauce in a large mixing bowl. Toss to coat evenly, then transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.

Step 7

Top the green bean mixture with the prepared stuffing, spreading it evenly across the top. If desired, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the stuffing for an extra cheesy touch.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the stuffing is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.

Step 9

Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
