Ingredients
2 Tbsp unsalted butter, divided  
3/4 cup(s) panko breadcrumbs  
2 Tbsp dehydrated onion flakes, minced variety  
3/4 tsp table salt, divided  
2 spray(s) cooking spray  
      1 1/2 pound(s) uncooked string beans, fresh, trimmed, cut in half  
      1 pound(s) button mushrooms, thinly sliced  
Instructions
To make crumb topping, in a large, deep nonstick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium-low heat; add panko, onion flakes and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Increase heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until crumbs are lightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside; carefully wipe skillet clean.

Coat skillet with cooking spray; place over high heat. Add string beans and mushrooms; sauté until vegetables are lightly browned and tender, about 6 minutes.

Add remaining tablespoon butter and 1/2 teaspoon salt to skillet; toss over low heat until butter is melted and mixture is heated through. Transfer vegetables to a serving platter; sprinkle with crumb mixture. Yields about 1 cup vegetables and 2 tablespoons crumbs per serving.
