Hot, creamy and out-of-this-world tasty, green bean casserole is a perfect side dish for memorable holiday dinners and weeknight meals alike. It’s one of our favorite Thanksgiving sides, partly because it’s so easy to put together! But what is green bean casserole, anyway? This classic casserole is typically made with green beans, cream of mushroom soup and crispy fried onions. The creamy texture of the soup is offset by the crunchiness of the fried onions for a comforting, flavorful side dish that’s sure to be a hit wherever it’s served.

Recipe Tips

  • tip 1

    To make sure your baking dish holds 1.5 quarts (6 cups), use a liquid measuring cup to pour water into the dish until it’s full. There should be enough room for the green beans to not completely fill the dish.

  • tip 2

    Green Bean Casserole with Frozen Green Beans: Frozen French-style green beans can be substituted for the canned beans. Give frozen beans a quick rinse under cool water in a colander and shake off excess water before mixing with the soup and milk.
