Recipe Tips

Prepare Green Beans - Prepare the frozen green beans before combining with the other ingredients. This ensures they are heated through before baking.

Drain Green Beans - To ensure you do not have a soupy mixture. Make sure that there is no moisture on the green beans. We have even dried them with paper towels after steaming.

Adding French Onions - Mix in half the French Fried onions into the mixture and bake. But the crispy topping is my favorite, so I like to add more on top. Add and then bake an additional 10 minutes. It is worth the extra baking time.

Cream of Chicken Soup - We used canned cream of chicken condensed soup, but you can also make Homemade Cream of Chicken or you may prefer Easy Gluten Free Cream of Chicken Soup Recipe.

Cream of Mushroom. Substitute Cream of Mushroom Soup for another tasty variation.

Cheese - For a cheesy, creamy center you can add in shredded cheddar cheese to the mixture. We love the addition and perfect for all your cheese lovers.

Potatoes - Another addition is add in diced potatoes. This is a delicious addition and the potatoes cook perfect in the casserole.

Slow Cooker - If you prefer, you can make this recipe in the slow cooker. Check out Slow Cooker Green Bean Casserole.

Casserole Topping - Feel free to change the topping of the casserole. You can top with crushed crackers or dried bread crumbs. Salad croutons is also a great options. You may just need to crumble them up.
