Description
Green Bean Casserole is a classic holiday side dish made with tender green beans, creamy mushroom sauce, and a crispy fried onion topping. It’s warm, comforting, and always a crowd-pleaser, especially during Thanksgiving.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs fresh or frozen green beans, trimmed and cut
- 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of mushroom soup (or homemade)
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 tbsp soy sauce (or Worcestershire sauce)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 1/3 cups crispy fried onions, divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a casserole dish.
- Blanch green beans in boiling water for 5 minutes or steam until just tender. Drain and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine cream of mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce, and pepper until smooth.
- Stir in the green beans and 2/3 cup of the fried onions.
- Transfer mixture to the prepared casserole dish and bake uncovered for 25 minutes.
- Top with remaining fried onions and bake an additional 5–10 minutes until bubbly and golden.
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use canned green beans for a quicker version (drained well).
- Add shredded cheese or white wine for a gourmet twist.
- Make it dairy-free with almond or oat milk and a vegan cream of mushroom soup.
- Sauté fresh mushrooms and garlic for a homemade sauce.
- Freeze before baking (without onions), then thaw and bake fresh.
