Tips and Tricks

With only minutes of prep, this classic side dish is ready for the holidays! Everyone will be asking you to make your homemade green bean casserole recipe, the holiday staple, from now on! 

  • We are seeking to double the usual recipe, so be sure to use large size bowls and baking dish. 
  • You CAN make this in a slow cooker, but you will need a large 6-8 quart size. 
  • This is a great side dish for adding your own touch like fresh mushrooms (saute first), cheddar cheese or fresh green beans. 
  • You can substitute the classic onion topping with butter coated and crushed corn flakes!
  • You can take the classic french's green bean casserole to the next level by adding a dash of Worcestershire sauce! 
  • Keep this traditional green bean casserole recipe oven ready in an airtight container!
  • Plan your oven space for the big day! This casserole takes up half of a rack and if other items are in the oven, will take slightly longer cooking time.
  • This dish tastes great at room temperature, be sure it gets to the refrigerator within 2 hours, however.
  • Shop early! French fried onions keep on the shelf, buy those early at the grocery store (they sell out quickly).
  • Add ¼ - ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper for a bit of spice.
