Best Thanksgiving Green Bean Casserole Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cans (14.5 oz) of green beans (or about 4 cups fresh green beans, steamed)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 cup crispy fried onions (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional for extra creaminess)
Instructions
- Preheat the OvenĀ
Start by preheating your oven to 350Ā°F (175Ā°C). Trust me, that oven heat is going to make everything come together perfectly. - Prepare the Green BeansĀ
If youāre using fresh green beans, trim the ends and steam them until tender. If youāre using canned, just drain and rinse them to get rid of any extra salt. - Mix the SauceĀ
In a large bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir it all together until smooth and creamy. This is the base of your casseroleāso good! - Assemble the CasseroleĀ
Add the green beans to the bowl and mix them into the sauce. Stir until all the beans are coated evenly. Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. - Top It OffĀ
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese (if youāre using it) over the top, and then add a generous handful of crispy fried onions. These onions give the casserole that irresistible crunch, and we all love a little crunch on Thanksgiving! - Bake ItĀ
Pop the casserole into the oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until itās hot and bubbly. Then, take it out, and sprinkle a few more fried onions on top before putting it back in for 5 more minutes. The result is a golden, crispy top with a creamy, savory interior. - Serve & Enjoy!Ā
Once it’s done, serve it up with your favorite turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffing. Trust me, this green bean casserole will be the star of the show!
Notes
If you like a bit of extra flavor, feel free to add some crispy bacon bits or sautĆ©ed mushrooms to the casserole mix before baking. Itās a fun twist on the classic, and I promiseāitās delicious!
