Green Bean Casserole Recipe

Does your family make green bean casserole at Thanksgiving every year? If your making it for the first time this year, and you’ve landed on this page your in luck! I’ve got the low down on the best green bean casserole recipe around!

Not only am I going to teach you how to make this casserole but you can learn how to make your own mushroom soup and french fried onions! Don’t worry these are simple recipes, even beginners can follow!

Why I Don’t Use Canned Mushroom Soup!

My family has been serving green bean casserole at our Thanksgiving dinner for as long as I can remember. We used a lot of canned food back in the day though.

I don’t know about you but, canned mushroom soup is disgusting!

It looks gross, it tastes gross and doesn’t add half the deliciousness that fresh mushrooms, chicken broth, and milk can to this casserole recipe.

Making your own mushroom soup is really easy. I’m going to be teaching you how to do it step by step.

Canned mushroom soup has preservatives and other ingredients that are less than desirable. Using fresh mushrooms, you can bet your button that this homemade version is much more nutritious!

You can see the ingredients to canned mushroom soup, and notice that it has MSG. If you don’t know what that is, it’s time to do some research!

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 onion (diced)
• 4 oz mushrooms (finely chopped)
• 2 tbsp all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup chicken stock or vegetable broth
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 1/2 lbs. fresh green beans (or if you don't have fresh you can use two small cans of green beans, drained)
• salt and pepper
• 1 stick butter (melted)
• 1 1/2 cups french fried onions

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Prep by cutting up mushrooms and onions.
3. Saute the onion and mushroom in the butter over medium-high heat.
4. Add the flour in with the onion and mix well.
5. Add a little bit of chicken stock to the pot, while stirring continuously. When it thickens add more. Do this until you’ve got all of the chicken stock mixed in.
6. Add the milk in the same as you did with the stock.
7. Place the green beans in a casserole dish.
8. Once you have the creamy sauce ready pour it into the casserole dish and mix it up.
9. Bake for about 15 minutes.
10. Mix the breadcrumbs with the 1 stick of butter while the casserole is cooking. Or if you prefer fried onions spread the over the top, and place it in the oven for 5-10 minutes.
11. Now, sprinkle the french fried onions and place back in the oven for about 5 minutes.
12. Serve and enjoy!

If you wish to prepare this dish ahead of time, do all of the steps except for the oven instructions. Instead, cover the casserole and place it in the fridge.

Then, set the oven for 350ºF and bake for  30-40 minutes or until it is hot and bubbly and reaches at least 135ºF. Then, remove from oven, add breadcrumbs or fried onions, and bake for 10 more minutes.

From my family to yours, We hope you have a Thankful Thanksgiving, a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year
