Green Bean Casserole – Easy Thanksgiving Recipes

November 9, 2009

I think green bean casserole is a pretty standard holiday food, but I thought I’d share my version of it anyway.

Do you make yours this way or do you do something different? I’d love to hear about it!

Green Bean Casserole is one of those recipes that is synonymous with Thanksgiving for me. If we have it for dinner at another time of year, I instantly think about all of the wonderful sights and smells of the holiday season. It’s comfort and happiness with a gooey, cheesy crust on top. Enjoy!

Green Bean Casserolegreen bean casserole

  • About 4 cups of green beans, drained and cut into bite-sized pieces (You can use thawed frozen beans, canned beans, or steamed fresh beans. Two 14-oz commercial cans will work if you want to go that route.)
  • 1 (10.75-oz) can of condensed cream of mushroom soup (I buy low sodium, fat free soup, but you can buy whatever you want.)
  • 2 or 3 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 (10 oz) can of cheddar-flavor French Fried onions
  1. In a large bowl, combine green beans, soup, 1 cup of cheese, garlic, and onion powder. Mix well. I usually do this the night before so that I don’t have to bother on the morning of Thanksgiving.
  2. Transfer green bean mixture to a casserole dish. Top with remaining shredded cheese.
  3. Bake at 350, until bubbly and heated through. Add the French Fried onions and bake until onions are browned, usually 5 to 10 minutes.
  4. Serve hot.

    This is hubby's favorite. We only discovered a cheese version a couple of year's ago from my cousin's wife. She makes it really tasty! I will try your version of it this year for Hubby.

    I love green bean casserole, but never make it. However, I am hosting an early Thanksgiving celebration at my house this weekend and I've assigned my mother-in-law the task of bringing some.

    I love Green Bean Casserole. I too make this for Thanksgiving minus the cheese. I have picky eaters. I would love this with cheese.
