Green Bean Casserole with Wagyu and Crispy Onions

Serves 6

Ingredients 

  • 8 oz. Lone Mountain Wagyu Summer Sausage, coarsely chopped
  • 1 pound fresh green beans, stemmed
  • 1 small onion, peeled and halved
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • Vegetable oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 pound white button mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 ¼ cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup heavy cream

Directions

1. Pulse summer sausage in a food processor until the texture of coarse meal. Set aside.

2. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil over high heat. Add green beans and cook until bright green, about 2 minutes. Drain and let cool. Once cool, cut beans into 1 ½-inch lengths. Set aside.

3. Using a mandolin or a very sharp knife, slice the onions into ¼-inch thick slices.

4. To make the crispy onions, pour buttermilk into a wide shallow bowl and generously season with salt and pepper. Put 1 cup flour into a separate wide shallow bowl. Pour oil into a medium deep skillet to a depth of 2 inches and over medium heat until a candy thermometer reads 350°. Meanwhile, add onions to buttermilk and stir to combine. Working in batches, dredge onions in flour, shaking off excess and fry in hot oil until browned and crisp, about 5 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels. Be sure to scoop out browned bits between batches.

5. Preheat oven to 375°. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and garlic and cook until the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add remaining 2 tablespoons flour and cook, stirring constantly for 2 minutes. Whisk in broth and cream, reduce heat to medium and cook until sauce thickens and reduces enough to thickly coat the back of a wood spoon, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

6. Remove from heat and stir in green beans.

7. Pour green bean mixture into a medium baking dish and spread to an even layer. Evenly sprinkle ground summer sausage over green beans and top with onions.

8. Bake until everything is heated through. Serve warm.
