INSTRUCTIONS

Fill a large pot with water, add 1 tablespoon of salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Add beans and cook until just tender, about 2 minutes. Drain and immediately plunge beans into a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain again and set aside.

In a large saucepan set over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms begin to give up some of their liquid, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and nutmeg, and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle flour over mushrooms and stir to combine. Slowly stir in stock and heavy cream. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring frequently, until mixture thickens, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add green beans and stir until well coated. Spoon mixture into a lightly buttered 9- by 13-inch casserole dish.

In a medium mixing bowl toss together French-fried onions, bread crumbs, and pecans. In a small saucepan, remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir melted butter into onion mixture. Sprinkle topping evenly over green bean mixture. Bake in a 395 degree oven until golden and bubbly, about 10 to 12 minutes.
