GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE TARTLETS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• On lightly floured surface, gently roll out each pastry sheet to 10-by-12 inches.
• Cut each sheet into 30 2-inch squares, ending with a total of 60 squares (a pizza cutter works great for this).
• Lightly score each square about 1/8 inch around the edges and prick liberally with a fork. This will keep the pastry from puffing up too much during cooking.
• Transfer pastry squares to 2 parchment-lined baking sheets and put into the refrigerator.
• Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat.
• Add onions to pan and cook for 2 minutes, or until onions are translucent.
• Stir in sugar, flour, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
• Add sour cream, green beans, and half of cheese to onion mixture and stir until well combined and heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Take pastry squares out of refrigerator and top each one with a small spoonful of the green bean mixture and shredded cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 7 minutes, remove from the oven. Top each square with a few French fried onions. Return to the oven and continue cooking for an additional 6-8 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and golden. Let sit 5 minutes before serving.

INDIVIDUAL GREEN BEAN CASSEROLES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly-salted water to a rolling boil. Add beans and cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. (The beans will not soften too much more during baking, so if you want them softer, cook to your preference.)
• Drain beans, run under cold water, and place in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. When beans are chilled, drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray the inside of 4 ramekins with cooking spray.
• Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and shallot and cook until they start to brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms, stirring well to combine. Gradually pour in chicken stock, soy sauce, Dijon, and thyme, stirring constantly; the mixture will be thick at this point. Stir in half-and-half, salt, and pepper until well combined. Reduce heat to low and simmer until flavors have melded and sauce has thickened, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Stir in green beans and bacon until well combined. Spoon into the prepared ramekins and top with French-fried onions.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 13 to 15 minutes. Serve immediately.
