Green Bean Casserole

A green bean casserole makes the Thanksgiving excursion complete, and this version can be on the table in no time at all thanks to just 4 ingredients from your pantry or fridge: canned green beans, condensed mushroom soup, French-fried onions, and shredded Cheddar cheese.

Classic Green Bean Casserole

Holly Nilsson

This green bean casserole recipe is an up to date twist on the classic vacation facet dish. Made with sparkling inexperienced beans and a creamy homemade mushroom sauce, it is healthy and delicious. I like to top it with crispy baked onions (see the notes below!), however store-bought French fried onions work here too.

1 ½ pounds fresh green beans, trimmed and simmered for about 7-8 minutes
