Today, I\u2019m gonna tell ya (coz I\u2019m bossy like that) to forget what you know about green bean casserole and try out my Better Green Bean Casserole. It\u2019s still cozy with a nod to the traditional but it\u2019s jazzed up with some bangin\u2019 flavors!<\/p>\n

This is elevated comfort food\u00a0 \u2013 familiar enough to hit all the nostalgic notes with a few touches that take it over the top.<\/p>\n

About Better Green Bean Casserole:<\/h2>\n

Green Bean Casserole has been a holiday tradition at US tables for longer than I\u2019ve been alive; not by much longer, but still! It\u2019s the brainchild of Dorcas Reilly<\/a><\/em><\/span>, a recipe developer for Campbell\u2019s soup, who in 1955 gifted this to a nation. For a long time, it was good enough\u2026but me? I love to tinker!<\/p>\n

This is the GBC casserole that\u2019s gonna change your life! Be prepared for friends and family to clamor for this year after year. Oh, and if you\u2019re the one delegated to bring the old standard coz your family doubts your skills? This is gonna get you instant street cred! By the way, my base ideas came from TikTok. I don\u2019t know the original creator. If you do, please comment so I can give him credit<\/p>\n

Fresh green beans are available almost everywhere around the holidays and make all the difference. If anyone in your family is horrified by green bean squeaks, there\u2019s none of that when using fresh beans. (Frozen works, too.) And there\u2019s onion and a boost of flavor from fresh mushrooms.<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s the velvety, semi-homemade sauce with a touch of cream and a handful of cheese. Since it\u2019s one of my recipes, you\u2019ll be bringing it in the flavor department with a few herbs and spices. And yeah, there\u2019s still a can of soup in there (gotta respect tradition!), which keeps things simple. Who needs extra steps when we\u2019ve got enough to do already, amirite?<\/p>\n

Instead, focus on the changes that take this GBC over the top: Bacon, fresh onions and mushrooms, and a good amount of white Cheddar cheese. And just when you think I\u2019m done, more bacon and a crispy topping of the simplest onion rings ever, my Copycat French\u2019s Onion Rings<\/a><\/em><\/span>. You can use French\u2019s if you want but the homemade rings? OMG!! They are so good I gotta admit I ate all mine and had to make more for the casserole!<\/p>\n

What Does GBC Go Best With:<\/h2>\n

You\u2019re gonna want this more than once a year! GBC might be essential for your Holiday dinner or potluck but there\u2019s no need to gatekeep!<\/p>\n
