Easy Green Bean Casserole

Green bean casserole is an excellent addition to any meal.  I didn’t even know it was a recipe until a few years ago. Thanks to my oldest, it has become a family favorite, and now I cook it for almost every holiday meal. Madison insists.

My oldest, Madison, is a big fan of green bean casserole, and I have been able to experiment with using different ingredients. Believe it or not, she loved every way I made it, so trust me, you can’t go wrong. You can do a lot with a green bean casserole, and the traditional way is with cream of mushroom, milk, salt, and pepper, but you can tweak it in any way you like. I experimented until I found a perfect blend of ingredients I feel makes an excellent green bean casserole.

This recipe will not be runny or creamy; it’s more of a gravy that compliments the green beans. You notice in the picture above how the mixture is hearty and thick. If you want it moister, you may add 1/2 cup of milk or chicken broth. Remember to make this recipe your own. Tweak it until you are happy. 

It is your personal preference for how you top your casserole.  You can use bread crumbs, shredded cheese, fried onions, bacon bits, or a blend of different toppings.

My favorite go-to is mild cheddar cheese and fried onions. I love the extra crunch it brings.

Enjoy!!
