Description

A deliciously easy and quick Green Beans with Mushrooms recipe: a savory stovetop side dish with tender-crisp green beans, mushrooms, and red onion coated in a rich, buttery sauce. Perfect for holidays or weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 1/2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal), plus more to taste

  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, thickly sliced

  • 1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced (or a shallot)

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces

  • 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken stock (or more as needed)

Instructions

  1. Spread and Season: Spread green beans evenly in a large skillet. Toss with salt and pepper to coat.

  2. Add Toppings: Scatter mushrooms, onion, and butter on top. Pour in chicken stock.

  3. Cook and Reduce Sauce: Cook over medium-high heat, stirring until beans are tender-crisp and mushrooms are coated in a thick sauce, about 20 minutes.

  4. Adjust Consistency: Adjust heat or add stock as needed to control liquid level.

  5. Serve: Taste and adjust salt if needed. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Swap butter for a dairy-free alternative if desired.

  • Control the sauce consistency by adjusting the heat or adding small amounts of stock.

  • Stovetop Convenience: This dish frees up your oven, perfect for busy holiday cooking.

  • Prep Check: The green beans should be “tender-crisp”—cooked but still retaining a pleasant snap when bitten.

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3–4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
