Note on Preparing Fresh Green Beans:
For the best texture in your casserole, trim the ends of your fresh green beans and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Blanch them in boiling water for 3–4 minutes until they’re bright green and just tender, then drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. This ensures they stay crisp-tender in the casserole and don’t become mushy during baking. Do this while the oven is preheating - before mixing with the sauce.
