| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 1/4 cups | All-purpose flour |
| 1 tbsp | Sugar |
| 1 tsp | Baking powder |
| 1/2 tsp | Baking soda |
| 1/2 tsp | Salt |
| 1/2 cup | Cold butter, cubed |
| 1/2 cup | Buttermilk |
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Blanch the trimmed green beans in boiling water for about 2 minutes until they are bright green. Drain well and set aside.
-
In a large saucepot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent.
-
Stir in the all-purpose flour and cook for about 1 minute to form a roux.
-
Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth.
-
Remove the saucepot from the heat and stir in the blanched green beans, sliced mushrooms, chopped pecans, shredded Cheddar cheese, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, salt, and pepper. Ensure all ingredients are well combined.
-
Spread the mixture evenly into a greased 10-inch baking dish.
-
Prepare the biscuit topping by combining the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in the cold cubed butter using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Add the buttermilk to the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
-
Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and gently pat it out to a thickness of about 1/2 inch.
-
Cut the dough into random-sized pieces and shapes using a knife or biscuit cutter.
-
Arrange the biscuit pieces on top of the vegetable filling in a patchwork pattern, allowing some of the filling to peek through.
-
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through.
-
Allow the casserole to cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
-
Serve warm and enjoy the hearty flavors of this savory green bean, mushroom, and pecan casserole!
This dish is perfect for serving alongside your favorite mains or as a standalone vegetarian option. Its comforting flavors and satisfying textures are sure to impress your family and friends. Bon appétit! 🍽️
