FAQ

Is green bean casserole better with canned or fresh?

I would stick to fresh green beans with this recipe! Canned green beans tend to be mushy and tasteless once baked into the casserole, but using fresh beans cooked in chicken broth makes them perfectly crisp-tender and full of flavor! I just grab a few big handfuls of beans, chop off the ends, and cut them in half.

How do you make green bean casserole not soggy?

The Casserole Is Too Soupy

Don’t worry, there’s a relatively easy and quick fix that will help soak up the excess liquid: Make a slurry of flour or cornstarch in liquid (broth or water) to help thicken it up and then cook it for a bit longer.

Which is better in green bean casserole canned or frozen?

Green beans from a can have already been cooked to death right in the can, and harbor plenty of sodium that could make your casserole too salty. Frozen French-cut green beans are a better option. They hold their texture better than canned, and you can cook them straight from their frozen state.

How far in advance can you make green bean casserole before baking?

Blanched fresh green beans are smothered in a homemade creamy mushroom béchamel. In true make-ahead fashion, you can prep this green bean casserole up to 2 days in advance, finishing it off with a sprinkling of French fried onions & slivered nuts just before baking at dinnertime.
