💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes

  • For this recipe, you can use two 28-ounce cans of green beans.
  • 21.5 ounces is equivalent to two 10.75-ounce cans of Cambell's cream of mushroom soup (or the reduced-fat version). 
  • If using fresh green beans, trim the green beans and cut them in half then add to a pot of boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Immediately drain the blanched green beans and transfer them into a bowl of iced water. Drain them again and use them as directed in the recipe. 

🥡 Storing & Reheating

Keep your green bean casserole covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

To freeze, prepare your casserole as directed, but do not bake it yet (or add on the topping). Cover the casserole and store it in the freezer. When ready, bake it from frozen, and add the topping after it has been in the oven for 20 minutes. *The green bean casserole will need to be baked longer due to being frozen.

Reheating Green Bean Casserole

For small, individual portions, you can reheat your casserole in the microwave. Alternatively, you can put it back in the oven until heated to your liking.

❓ FAQ

Is Green Bean Casserole Better With Fresh Or Canned?

Whether or not you prefer fresh or canned green beans is a personal preference. Of course, you can make this recipe using either! If using fresh green beans, they will need to be blanched in boiling water for 2-3 minutes before being transferred to an ice bath. Then, continue with the recipe as written.

Can You Make Green Bean Casserole The Night Before?

Yep! This casserole is fantastic for preparing in advance. Simply make the casserole up until the point of baking (making sure to leave off the topping). Cover it and store it in the fridge. When ready, just pick up where you left off!

Should This Green Bean Casserole Be Covered When Baking?

Nope! Casseroles that contain items such as rice or pasta are typically covered. However, this green bean casserole does not need to be covered when baking, especially if you want the fried onions to become nice and crisp!

Is green bean casserole better with canned or fresh?

To kick things up a notch, I also use fresh green beans rather than canned ones because it gives the casserole the most refreshing flavor that's just to die for. That isn't to say that you can't use canned or frozen, if that's easier for you then go right on ahead!

How many cans of green beans equals 4 cups?

✿ 4 cups of green beans is about 1½ pounds fresh or 16 ounces frozen or 2 cans (15 ounces each) drained.

How do you make green bean casserole not runny?

If you don't, the excess water from the beans can leak out into the casserole and make it thin and runny. If you sense it's a little watery, "add a thickener like roux or starch to absorb the additional liquid or cook a little longer," she says. That'll give it that rich, dense consistency you're looking for.

Do you cover green bean casserole when baking?

Stir in green beans and sprinkle French-fried onions on top. Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, until hot and bubbly in the center, about 30 to 40 minutes.
