Green Bean Casserole
Like the green bean casserole you grew up with but better, way better! Bacon, garlic, fresh green beans, mushrooms, plus homemade cream of chicken soup elevate this holiday dish to an entirely new, fabulously delicious level!
Why this Recipe Works
Wondering if this really is the best green bean casserole ever? Let me convince you!
Fresh green beans — Forget the canned green beans you grew up eating in this green bean casserole recipe, fresh green beans are where it’s at! No more soggy green beans, these remain tender-crisp even after they bake in the yummy homemade soup.
Bacon — Everything tastes better with bacon. Enough said.
Homemade cream of chicken — So much tastier than the canned kind, and it’s not hard to make at all! Some chicken broth, milk, garlic powder, salt, and flour and you’ve got yourself one heck of a creamy base for this casserole.
French fried onions — Okay I mean, some traditional ingredients still stand. You have to have that crunch on the top of this green bean casserole with bacon and I can’t come up with a better replacement, believe me I’ve tried! I have to have these fried onions on top to complete the dish.
