🧈 8 tablespoons of butter, divided
🌿 1 pound fresh green beans
🧀 1 cup of Oaxaca cheese
🌾 3 tablespoons of flour
🍄 1 can of sliced mushrooms
🧅 1 pack of crispy fried onions

Instructions

1- Prep the Sauce:

• In a blender, combine the block of cream cheese and 1 cup of chicken or vegetable stock. Add your truffle product to taste. Blend until smooth to create a creamy truffle sauce.

2- Sauté the Green Beans:

• In a large pan, heat a little cooking oil and add 4 tablespoons of butter. Add the fresh green beans and sauté until they are slightly tender. Season to taste.

3- Combine with Sauce and Cheese:

• Add the blended truffle sauce to the green beans. Stir in 1 cup of Oaxaca cheese, allowing it to melt and mix thoroughly.

4- Prepare the Mushroom Mixture:

• In a separate small saucepan, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter. Stir in 3 tablespoons of flour to create a roux. Add this roux to the pan with the green beans and sauce. Then, mix in the can of sliced mushrooms.

5- Bake the Casserole:

• Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes, until the top is slightly golden and bubbling.

6- Add Crispy Topping:
