3. Bake for 15-20 minutes uncovered.
4. Take it out of the oven, stir then top with remaining cup of onions and bake for another 10 minutes or until bubbly and hot.

👍 Amira's Tips

• If you are using fresh green beans instead of frozen, you will want to steam them slightly longer. Steam or boil fresh green beans for about 8 minutes before adding to the casserole.
• Make sure that you drain the green beans well otherwise you may have a watery sauce to your casserole.
• I've found that using a glass or ceramic casserole dish works best for this recipe.
• You can easily swap out the canned mushrooms for cooked fresh mushrooms instead.

🧺 Storage

This green bean casserole can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Make sure that you store it in an airtight container or wrap it with plastic wrap.

⌛ Make Ahead

One of the my favorite things about this casserole is you can assemble it ahead of time, wrap the casserole dish in plastic wrap, and then store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours or whenever you are ready to bake it.

🍽️ Serve With

👩‍🍳 Variations

• Canned green beans can be used also if you are using canned make sure to skip the steaming step, and drain them well before making your sauce.
• Ditch the canned soup and make this 10 minute cream of chicken soup substitute.
• Make sure to use two cans of drained green beans if you are using canned.
• You can use any type of seasoning salt that you have on hand, or an all purpose seasoning would also work.
• Add a touch of heat to this casserole by adding a pinch of cayenne pepper.
• Add some crunch by adding ½ cup sliced almonds or any type of other nuts you have on hand.
