Homemade cream of mushroom soup also isn’t that hard to make! I have a simple recipe for you in the tips section. My preferred brand is Campbell’s (and no, this isn’t a paid advertisement) just because it has the best flavor and texture. It serves as a dressing to coat the beans, making them super creamy and delightful. My recipe calls for 2 (14.5-ounce) of canned green beans, which are equivalent to: Just be sure that when using fresh or frozen green beans, you saute or blanch them in salted water first to soften them.įrozen green beans also need to be thawed first. Many find canned green beans to be unpleasantly mushy, but I won’t judge if that’s what you use. You only need 4 ingredients, which are so basic, it doesn’t make sense how it can produce a dish so holiday-worthy. One thing I love the most about this recipe is how accessible, convenient, and inexpensive the ingredients are. Your involvement is done in just 5 minutes. They really spruce up the rather bland green beans.Īnd here’s the kicker: this casserole is so easy to make, it’s almost embarrassing. The green beans may be the main feature of this casserole.īut the two things that make the dish a true star are melted cheese and crunchy French fried onions. The combination of green beans, cream of mushroom soup, cheese, and crispy French fried onions produces the most terrific tastes and textures! Green bean casserole is a classic Thanksgiving staple that even non-green bean fans couldn’t do without.

So, if you want to make everyone fall in love with the often-overlooked holiday side dish, this recipe is the key.
