"Plain fresh bread, its crust shatteringly crisp. Sweet cold butter. There is magic in the way they come together in your mouth to make a single perfect bite."--Ruth Reichl

Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
* 3 tablespoons canola oil, divided
* 1 medium sweet onion, (half diced, half thinly sliced), divided
* 8 ounces mushrooms, chopped
* 1 tablespoon onion powder
* 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, divided
* 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
* 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
* 2/3 cup all-purpose flour, divided
* 1 cup low-fat milk
* 3 tablespoons dry sherry, (see Ingredient Note)
* 1 pound frozen French-cut green beans, (about 4 cups)
* 1/3 cup reduced-fat sour cream
* 3 tablespoons buttermilk powder, (see Ingredient Note)
* 1 teaspoon paprika
* 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions:
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a 2 1/2-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook, stirring often, until softened and slightly translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in mushrooms, onion powder, 1 teaspoon salt, thyme and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the mushroom juices are almost evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle 1/3 cup flour over the vegetables; stir to coat. Add milk and sherry and bring to a simmer, stirring often. Stir in green beans and return to a simmer. Cook, stirring, until heated through, about 1 minute. Stir in sour cream and buttermilk powder. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
3. Whisk the remaining 1/3 cup flour, paprika, garlic powder and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a shallow dish. Add sliced onion; toss to coat. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion along with any remaining flour mixture and cook, turning once or twice, until golden and crispy, 4 to 5 minutes. Spread the onion topping over the casserole.
4. Bake the casserole until bubbling, about 15 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
