1 1/2 cup neutral oil (canola, vegetable, avocado)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Blanch green beans in a large pot of salted boiling water. Cook for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender. Drain into a colander and rinse with cold water for a few minutes until no longer hot.
Place green beans on a dish towel and pat dry. Transfer to a 9”x13” or large baking dish.
Melt butter over medium high heat in a large saucepan.
Whisk in flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, freshly ground black pepper, nutmeg, and Dijon mustard. Cook for a few minutes, mixing occasionally, until flour mixture turns deep brown and becomes fragrant.
Gradually whisk in chicken stock. Once no clumps of flour remain, whisk in half and half. Bring to a simmer, whisking often, for about 5 minutes.
Turn heat to low and fold in 1 cup of shredded cheddar until fully incorporated.
Pour mixture over green beans, gently tossing until evenly coated. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar over the top.
Bake for 30 minutes until sauce starts to bubble and cheese on top has browned.
While casserole bakes, prepare fried shallot topping. Place shallots in a medium saucepan and pour oil on top until they’re fully submerged.
Cook over medium low heat for 25-30 minutes, stirring often with a fork or tongs until golden brown.
Drain shallots into a strainer, then transfer to a paper towel lined plate.
Allow shallots to cool for 5 minutes, then sprinkle over top of baked casserole.

3 lbs fresh fava beans, shelled (can also substitute in edamame)
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic
1 small jalapeno, seeded and minced
2 tbps Truly Grass Fed Unsalted Butter
½ tbsp. fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp grated TGF Natural Aged Cheddar, grated
1 tbsp chopped tarragon
Instructions
Fill a large bowl with ice water. In a large saucepan of boiling salted water, blanch the fava beans for 1 minute. Transfer to the ice water, drain, then peel them.
In a small saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Add the garlic and cook over low heat until golden, about 2 minutes. Add the jalapeño and cook for 1 minute longer. Season with salt.
In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil until shimmering. Add the fava beans and cook over moderately high heat, without stirring, until blackened, about 1 minute. Transfer to a serving bowl and season with salt.

1 tsp fresh cracked black pepper, plus more to taste
Fresh parsley, finely chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, season generously with salt. Add the pasta and cook until just al dente, about 6 minutes, drain and set aside.
Add 2 tbsp (1 oz) butter to a medium skillet set over medium-high heat. Once melted, add the breadcrumbs, stirring often until evenly coated and lightly golden brown; about 3 – 5 minutes. Set aside.
In a large skillet or sauce pan, melt the remaining 6 tbsp (3 oz) butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until smooth, continue to whisk frequently for 2 – 3 minutes, allowing the flour to cook down; color may turn more golden.
Slowly add the milk in batches, whisking constantly until there are no lumps. Increase heat, bringing to a simmer (continue whisking to prevent burning). Simmer for 3 – 5 minutes, whisking regularly, allowing sauce to thicken.
Remove pan from heat and whisk in the cheeses until melted and smooth. Add salt and pepper, plus more to taste.
Add the drained, cooked pasta, stirring until evenly coated. Alternatively, this can be done in a large mixing bowl if pan is too small.
Transfer mac and cheese to a 9×13 baking dish and top with toasted breadcrumbs. Bake for 15 – 20 minutes.
