How to Make the BEST Green Bean Casserole
Step-by-Step Instructions
Prep. Preheat your oven to 350ºF. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick baking spray and set aside. To make this, you’ll need the following ingredients:
Green beans – I prefer to use frozen or fresh green beans. I think it has an incredible fresh flavor. You can also use canned green beans if you prefer. Butter – I use salted butter. You can also use unsalted. Mushrooms – Use sliced or chopped mushrooms for a fresh take and a more flavorful version of this traditional holiday side dish. Milk – Use whole milk, half-and-half, or cream. Stone House Seasoning – this is my favorite seasoning mix of salt, pepper, and garlic. Worcestershire sauce – Use coconut aminos if sensitive to soy. Cream of chicken soup – I use my homemade cream of chicken soup. I believe it has the most flavor. You can also use store-bought. You can also substitute it with cream of mushroom soup. Crispy onions – Use your favorite crispy onions, such as French’s, or make your own with my How to Make Crispy Onions tip below.
Quick Boil Green Beans (if using fresh or frozen green beans). Bring about 2 quarts of water to a rolling boil. Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook for 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the boiling water and place in a bowl of ice water, or rinse immediately with ice-cold water. Set the green beans aside. If using canned green beans, skip this step. Saute and Cook. Meanwhile, melt the butter and saute the mushrooms until tender, about 7 to 8 minutes. Add the green beans, milk, soup, Worcestershire sauce, Stone House Seasoning, and half of the crispy onions. Stir to combine and pour into the casserole dish. Bake. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes uncovered. Add Topping and Bake. Remove from the oven and top with remaining crispy onions. Return to the oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
Storage Tips
To make ahead. Once you have spread your casserole mixture into the baking dish, cover it with a tight-fitting lid or wrap it well with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for up to three days. When ready to serve, remove from the refrigerator and bake as directed for 20 minutes. Then, remove it from the oven, top it with topping, and bake it for the remainder of the time. To freeze. Frozen green bean casserole that has already been cooked is not recommended. Instead, follow the instructions to make ahead, store in a freezer-safe baking dish, and freeze for up to two weeks. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight, and then proceed with the recipe.
