This simple and easy green bean casserole uses cream soup, cheddar cheese, and french fried onions to make the ultimate comfort food for holiday meals or any time of year! It is so quick to put together and can be made ahead to simplify the holiday preparation.
Green bean casserole is my favorite holiday food. It’s creamy and rich and our recipe includes garlic for a little zip.
Green bean casserole is one of those recipes that is synonymous with holiday meals for me. We used to have it only for Thanksgiving dinner, and then when we started hosting Christmas, we naturally added it to that menu, too.
If we have green bean casserole for dinner at another time of year, I instantly think about all of the wonderful sights and smells of the holiday season. It’s comfort and happiness with a gooey, cheesy crust on top.
Enjoy!

This is hubby's favorite. We only discovered a cheese version a couple of year's ago from my cousin's wife. She makes it really tasty! I will try your version of it this year for Hubby.

This is my son’s favorite veggie recipe. What would Thanksgiving be without it. But… wait a minute…. I see an additional ingredient in your recipe… Cheese? I didn’t think of that and it sounds extra wonderful. I will use this recipe for Thanksgiving. Thank you for giving me a new twist on an old family favorite.

I love the idea of adding cheese!! 🙂
This is an all season favorite in our house!!
-I sometimes put some of those gortons fried fish fillets on top so it’s dinner in a pan!
-also this is an easy food to make when my children are transitioning to solid food – very easy for mommy to mash with a fork and share without buying extra baby food!

I love green bean casserole, but never make it. However, I am hosting an early Thanksgiving celebration at my house this weekend and I've assigned my mother-in-law the task of bringing some.

I never thought of feeding this to a new babe. That's a great idea!

I love Green Bean Casserole. I too make this for Thanksgiving minus the cheese. I have picky eaters. I would love this with cheese.
