Fresh green beans: Blanch for 3–4 minutes before baking to keep them tender-crisp.

-
Make-ahead: Assemble and refrigerate up to a day before baking; add topping just before baking.
If you want, I can give a “From-Scratch Gourmet Green Bean Casserole” version using fresh mushrooms, a homemade cream sauce, and caramelized onions for a richer flavor.
Do you want that version?
