How to make amazing green bean casserole from scratch – step by step Cook the green beans frying oil – you will need a high-smoke point oil that is suitable for deep frying like canola oil, sunflower oil, or refined coconut oil.thyme – for flavor, you can also use any other spices that you like.breadcrumbs – regular or panko (I used regular, so if using panko add more).onions – any kind, I used yellow onions.To make homemade fried onions you will need: They are coated with a small amount of buttermilk-flour-breadcrumb breading and are so delicious, not too greasy, and super crispy. These fried onions won’t be the same as store-bought – they are definitely lightened up in comparison to the traditional fried onions. The most important part of this recipe is the homemade mushroom sauce and fresh green beans. You can also use store-bought fried onions. It’s actually very quick and easy to make but it requires deep-frying and using a large amount of oil (3-4 cups). This casserole won’t be overly cheesy, it’s just covered with a small amount of flavorful cheese to add a little something extra and savory to the recipe.Īdditionally, you can make homemade fried onions.
I’m also adding soy sauce like in the traditional recipe – it adds flavor to the sauce but you won’t be able to taste it.Ĭheese – I tested this casserole with parmesan cheese and sharp cheddar cheese and we liked it much more with cheddar cheese. I’m using beef broth but you could also use chicken broth. Liquid for the sauce – I’m using a mix of milk, cream and broth as the base of the sauce – it’s the most flavorful combination in my opinion but it’s also not so heavy.Bacon – adds a punch of flavor to the sauce! you can use leftover ham instead or prosciutto ham (you also need to pan-fry it), or omit it if you prefer a more traditional flavor of this casserole.Aromatics – onion, garlic, thyme, Dijon mustard, nutmeg.White wine – adds acidity to the sauce, use dry white wine, if you don’t cook with wine you can add broth instead and then adjust the taste of the sauce by adding other acidic ingredients like more lemon juice or white wine vinegar.If you really don’t like mushrooms, you can omit them. Mushrooms – you can use button mushrooms, cremini mushrooms or even a mix of button/cremini mushrooms and wild mushrooms to make this casserole.Mushroom sauce – this homemade mushroom sauce is so flavorful. Green beans – fresh green beans will give you the best results but you can also use frozen green beans – they will also be delicious but slightly less crunchy. This recipe is additionally made with bacon and cheese, which are not a part of the traditional recipe, but let me ask you – what doesn’t taste better with cheese and bacon? I think you already know that this recipe will be awesome! This casserole will require some time to prepare it and it will definitely take longer than opening a can of mushroom soup and green beans, but, I PROMISE – it will be worth it! It tastes so much better than the semi-homemade recipe!
