1

Prep and blanch the green beans

Start by trimming the ends off the green beans and cutting them into bite-sized pieces. Then, bring a large pot of water to a boil and add salt. Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook for about 3 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain the beans and immediately plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.

2

Prepare the creamy sauce

In a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook for a minute, stirring constantly. Slowly whisk in 1 cup of milk and continue whisking until the mixture thickens. Add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

3

Combine the green beans and creamy sauce

In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched green beans and the creamy sauce. Stir until the green beans are evenly coated with the sauce.

4

Top with crunchy goodness

Transfer the green bean mixture to a greased casserole dish. In a separate bowl, mix 1/2 cup of panko breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the top of the green bean casserole.

5

Bake until golden and bubbly

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the casserole dish in the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
