Bean Casserole Cups (Print Version)

Crispy filo shells, creamy beans, and crunchy toppings create a fun snack spin on holiday classics. Easy to serve and delicious for all.

# Ingredients:

01 - Thawed package of 15 mini filo shells.
02 - 1 tablespoon butter for cooking.
03 - Half a cup of finely chopped fresh mushrooms for filling.
04 - 1 tablespoon flour to thicken it up.
05 - Around ¾ to 1 cup heavy cream to make the sauce.
06 - 1 cup thawed green beans chopped into small bits.
07 - ⅛ cup Parmesan cheese, grated, for flavor.
08 - A pinch of onion powder for seasoning.
09 - Salt and black pepper as needed.
10 - ¼ cup French fried onions for a crispy topping.

# Directions:

01 - Turn the oven on to 350°F. Line up the filo shells on a baking sheet.
02 - Heat a skillet on medium and melt the butter. Toss in the mushrooms and stir until they soften—this takes about 5 minutes.
03 - Dust the flour over the mushrooms and stir for a minute or two. Slowly pour in ¾ cup cream while mixing until smooth.
04 - Mix the green bean pieces and Parmesan into the skillet. Let it cook until creamy, adding a bit more cream (up to ¼ cup) if needed to get the right thickness.
05 - Sprinkle in onion powder, along with some salt and pepper to taste.
06 - Scoop a heaping tablespoon of the green bean mixture into each filo cup. Sprinkle French fried onions on top.
07 - Pop them in the oven for 4-6 minutes until the onions turn golden. Serve while they’re still warm.

# Notes:

01 - These are a fun and flavorful snack, great for Thanksgiving or any festive gathering.
02 - The crunchy filo shells contrast perfectly with the creamy, veggie-packed filling.
03 - You can easily tweak the recipe—try garlic powder or swap out Parmesan for Gruyere cheese.
