Skip the can of soup this year and make The Best Green Bean Casserole, from scratch. This version is packed with flavor from the made from scratch fresh mushroom soup, french style green beans, cheddar cheese and french fried onions. You'll never go back to the can of soup again!
Ingredients
- 2 lbs (32 ounces) frozen french style green beans, cooked to package directions and drained
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1/2 cup mushrooms, diced
- 1/4 cup onion, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup sour cream, I used light
- 1/2 Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup milk, I used nonfat
- salt and pepper
- 1 cup cheese
- For the topping
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 cup buttery rounds crackers
- 3/4 cup french fried onions, crumbled
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- In a small bowl, mix together the crumbled crackers and french fried onions. Add in the melted butter and set aside.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in large skillet and add in your garlic. Cook for 1 minute and then add in the mushrooms and onion. Once sauteed, season with salt and pepper, remove from pan and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add in 2 tablespoons of butter and when melted, whisk in flour. Cook for 1 minute and then stir in sour cream, Greek yogurt, salt.
- Mixture will be lumpy, so slowly start to add in your milk, whisking to combine. You may need or desire a little more milk to make it a thick liquid but I stopped at 1/4 cup.
- Add back in your mushroom and onion mixture and your green beans.
- Stir to combine and then add in 1/2 cup cheese.
- Pour into 2 1/2 quart casserole dish and sprinkle with remaining cheese and top with fried onion/cracker mixture.
- Bake for 30 minutes until top is nice and golden brown.
