Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed and cut
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce

Notes

For extra flavor, add a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the mushroom sauce or use a mix of fresh and canned fried onions for better texture.
