This take on green bean casserole removes the add-ins you'd encounter with canned soup and frees up the stove and oven for all the other Thanksgiving dishes. Browning the onions adds so much flavor to the gravy while maintaining a Thanksgiving side that's still somewhat light—there's just enough sauce, but plenty of flavor. This casserole is also great reheated, or even chopped up and mixed in to a stir-fry.

  • Cover cooker with lid, and lock in place. Turn steam release handle to SEALING position. Select MANUAL/PRESSURE COOK setting. Select HIGH pressure for 1 minute. (It will take 5 to 6 minutes for cooker to come up to pressure before cooking begins.) Let the pressure release naturally for 2 minutes. Carefully turn steam release handle to VENTING position, and let steam fully escape (float valve will drop). (This will take 1 to 2 minutes.) Remove lid from cooker. Transfer green beans to a large serving bowl or dish.

  • Stir together heavy cream and flour in a bowl until smooth. Select SAUTÉ setting on cooker. Select HIGH temperature setting. Whisk heavy cream mixture into mushroom mixture in cooker. Cook, stirring often, until mixture thickens, about 4 minutes. Turn off cooker.

  • Spoon mushroom mixture over green beans in serving bowl; sprinkle with fried onions.
