Green Bean Casserole

So do you have Green Bean Casserole every year for Thanksgiving? I know we do and I always liked it because of those yummy, crunchy fried onion pieces on top, but I didn’t like what it was made from. We prefer to eat whole, real foods rather than processed foods. One year when shopping at Trader Joe’s I found a can of those oh so delicious crunchy fried onion pieces. Guess what? It had a recipe for Green Bean Casserole on it!

This recipe is amazing! It is a delicious whole food recipe for Green Bean Casserole perfect for our Thanksgiving dinner or Christmas table. Yum!

They have since changed the recipe on the side of the can, but I have stuck with this one because we like it so much. It is a gourmet, whole food version of Green Bean Casserole and it is simply delicious!
I will be honest and tell you that this recipe is so amazingly delicious, but it will use 2 or 3 pans to make and it takes at least an hour to make. It is not quick and it uses a lot of dishes. There are worse things in the world, right? I actually really enjoy cooking, so I don’t mind taking my time to make something, especially when the result is as good as this dish. You will have plenty Green Bean Casserole because it bakes up in a 9×13 pan (I use one similar to this – affiliate link)

Over the years, I have found that the recipe that was on the can wasn’t accurate in terms of the times listed for cooking. I have modified those for you based on my experience with how long each step will take. Please keep a watch on your dish and if you feel it is done before the times listed, move on to the next step. The times I have listed are what works on my stove and are longer than those that were on the can.

Look at all the whole, real foods in this Green Bean Casserole. You can see all the yummy green beans and real mushrooms. The crunchy fried onions just put this casserole over the top…at least if you love crunchy fried things like I do (even though I know I shouldn’t). It pairs really well with my recipe for light and fluffy mashed potatoes. Yum!
This recipe is amazing! It is a delicious whole food recipe for Green Bean Casserole perfect for our Thanksgiving dinner or Christmas table. Yum!
Happy Eating and Happy Thanksgiving (if you are reading this near Thanksgiving)!

    I haven’t made a green bean casserole in years, but decided I was going to make one this year for Thanksgiving. I have fallen in love with French Fried Onions! This looks really good!

    Thank you for the recipe! I used to love the green bean casserole, but have been eating healthier for several years. . .I do prefer whole foods myself, and truthfully, REAL food tastes better, too. This looks like a good version to try, and I think everyone will love this.

      I’m so glad I could help you find a whole food version of a food you used to love. I totally agree with you that REAL food tastes better, so much more flavor and depth. I hope you love this casserole!

    This looks delicious! I found you on Shabby Nest link party. I’ve been looking for a whole food version, too! My daughter is allergic to dairy so the condensed soup versions do not work for us. I wonder if this recipe would taste just as good using almond milk instead? I may try it for my daughter and see how she likes it. She’s never had green bean casserole! Thank you for the recipe!

      Thanks so much, Amy! I really have no idea how it would taste with almond milk, but if you use it in place of milk in other recipes, it might work. I’m just not sure how almond milk does with being cooked or how it would flavor things. Wish I was more help for you. I hope if you give it a try it works really well. Let me know if you think of it.
      Take care,
      KC

      Oh, that is sad. I bet you can get the casserole done well at some point. So, yummy! I hope if you try this recipe, you really enjoy it (and that it turns out well).

    This sounds so lovely and I absolutely love the onion topping! I’m a bit jealous of all the tasty food you guys get to eat on Thanksgiving, think I need to bring that traditions over here also, haha 🙂
