Critical Success Points

  • Ensuring the mushroom sauce is properly thickened and reduced to 3½ cups (Step 5).
  • Blanching the green beans to the correct crisp‑tender texture and shocking them in an ice bath (Steps 7‑8).
  • Keeping the beans dry before mixing with the sauce to avoid a watery casserole (Step 8).
  • Baking the topping until golden without compressing it, for a crunchy finish (Step 13).

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can splatter; use a splatter guard when sautéing mushrooms.
  • Boiling water and ice bath can cause burns; handle with care.
  • Oven is hot; use oven mitts when removing the casserole.
