NO MUSHROOM GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE RECIPE

My family's favorite green bean casserole recipe is always a must-have at my own Thanksgiving table and pretty much any Holiday. I won't lie... I even make it as a side dish for a nice Sunday dinner. It's that good. 

There are only 3 foods I refuse to eat and mushrooms is one of them! Which is why I love this green bean casserole because there are no mushrooms in it. 

It's perfect for those that have mushroom allergies or if you're like me and just don't like them. 

I have absolutely nothing against canned soup but when I can make something from scratch that just takes minutes, I happen to love that it can replace a canned ingredient in a recipe.

WHAT INGREDIENTS DO I NEED TO MAKE GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE WITH CANNED GREEN BEANS?

Butter - I use salted butter in this recipe but unsalted butter works just fine too. Be sure to add a bit more salt (if wanted) if using the unsalted butter. 

All-Purpose Flour - This is what helps to thicken the mixture so that you don't end up with a wet, runny green bean casserole. 

Sour Cream - I highly prefer the full-fat regular sour cream in this recipe. You can use the lite sour cream but it tends to have a thinner texture and not as rich taste. So just use what you love!

Dried Minced Onion - These are just dried pieces of onion. They come in a spice type bottle and you will find them by the other spices and seasonings in the grocery store. If you don't have these already at home, I highly encourage you to buy some. They are cheap (like 50 cents) and they give such a great flavor to this casserole. Plus, it makes the recipe a no chop recipe!

Canned Green Beans - I prefer green bean casseroles with canned green beans. Why? They're convenient, usually cheaper, and they cook up perfectly because they are already soft. I can't tell you how many recipes I tried using fresh green beans that turn out with crispy and crunchy beans, and they take forever to prepare for the casserole. I love the French-style green beans but yes you can use the regular, cut green beans if you prefer that. 

Shredded Cheese - I use Colby Jack cheese but feel free to use whatever you like the best. Colby Jack or Cheddar will be the best for this recipe. Use as little or as much as you want. I don't care for the casserole to be super cheesy so I actually use less than the 1 cup called for. 

French Fried Onions - Get yourself a small can of these. They give that super crispy texture and some great flavor.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE

Slow Cooker Honey Glazed Ham - Cooks in the slow cooker all day in the best sweet honey glaze. 

Crock Pot Cranberry Turkey Breast - One of my family's Thanksgiving dinner tradition. So incredibly easy to make and it creates the flakiest and most tender turkey ever. 

Soft & Fluffy One Hour Rolls - Easy to make and so buttery!

Corn Casserole - Cornbread mix, sour cream, melted butter, corn, and creamed corn make this the best version of this Thanksgiving day classic.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons salted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon dried minced onion
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cans (28 oz each) french-style green beans drained well
  • 1 cup shredded cheese I use Colby Jack
  • 1 cup French's fried onions

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350°. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour, salt, sugar, and pepper. Stir with a whisk for 1 minute. Stir constantly so it does not burn.
  • Take off the heat and add sour cream and dried minced onion. Stir together until combined.
  • Add green beans, half the cheese, and half the fried onions. Stir together and pour into prepared baking dish. Top with the remaining cheese and sprinkle with the remaining fried onions.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes.

Notes

Onion : If wanted, you can use 1 tablespoon of diced fresh onion. I prefer the dried minced onion because it's easy and you don't waste an onion for only 1 tablespoon!
Tip : To make this easy to prepare: measure out your dry ingredients (flour, salt, sugar, pepper) into a small bowl. That way when it's time to add them you just dump & stir.
Green Beans : I prefer the French style green beans in this casserole. But if you want a thicker, heartier green bean texture then use the cut green beans. If you can't find the larger 28 oz cans of green beans then use 4 cans of 15 oz green beans instead. 
Sour Cream : For best texture and taste use real, full-fat sour cream.

    This version of a family favorite really helps me out. One of my son's is deathly allergic to mushrooms. But he loves green bean casserole. Making it with cream of chicken or cream of celery just tastes a bit off. Looking forwand to trying this one. Thank you. Sincerely, Carol.

      Sorry you're having trouble. I just tried printing and it and nothing was covered. Are you printing from the web browser print button or are you clicking the 'print recipe' button by the recipe? If you print from the browser then yes it might cover up stuff. Try printing from the recipe print button and it should work better for you. Let me know if that helps.

    This is the only green bean casserole I will eat. But my ratio of sour cream to green beans is much higher. I use an 8oz tub of sour cream to 1 regular size can of French style beans. I honestly detest the traditional version of green bean casserole! My mother has made this for as long as I can remember and I had no idea anyone outside of the family had ever eaten it.

    Hey I understand your green bean plight. Healthy tasting green beans do not belong in a green bean casserole. I found a recipe for country green beans ; they are so good. You fry up some bacon (great start) just to render off a bit of fat. So not crispy. Then you add your green beans and low sodium chicken broth until the green beans are sufficiently covered. Let them simmer. Yes it takes awhile but you can make it in advance, and it is absolutely delicious. Add salt and pepper to taste.

        Hello, I'm from South Georgia,this is how we cook green beans here.You can also cook the beans in beef broth and the bacon grease. The key is cooking them for a long time .? Also they are better the next day. When we have left over beans we make vegetable soup using all the stock and beans. Nothing gets wasted.

      One recipe of this casserole will serve 6-8 adult side dish servings. Obviously that depends on size of serving that people dish up. So, if you have 11 people then I would definitely make two dishes of this casserole. Good luck and enjoy!

          Wow! That's a lot of people to feed ? The recipe as written fits in a 9x13 baking dish. As a side dish to a larger Holiday type meal, I would guess that you could easily get 8-10 portions from one dish. Hope that helps & good luck !

    I'm planning to make this ahead and freeze for Thanksgiving. I was going to assemble it, minus the topping which I will freeze separately and add before/during baking. Have you ever tried that before? Or any advice?
    Reply

    • Together As Family

      I have no experience with freezing this dish. I think it may get too watery once you cook it from frozen (in me experience, frozen veggies give off a lot of water while cooking). I would honestly suggest just making it the day before (minus the topping) cover it and let it hang out in the fridge until you bake it on Thanksgiving. Your idea also may work just fine. I am not a huge fan of freezing things because I think it changes the texture.... but that is just me and it may be just fine to freeze this. I hope it works out for you! Happy Thanksgiving :)

    How many people will this serve? I'm wondering if I should double it. I have 7 adults and 2 toddlers. Thoughts? Thank you!
    Reply

    • Together As Family

      It makes a 9x13 baking dish. If you are serving it for Thanksgiving then I think one recipe should be just fine because there will be lots of other things to eat. If it's like for a dinner party or guests/friends over at the house, maybe two recipes worth would be the best. In my family, it's my husband and I and then 4 kids (age 7 and under) and if my kids are eating well that night (haha, does not happen often) then we can eat the entire pan! We love this stuff. But then again, this stuff is so good that you may just want to double it so you will have leftovers and so there will be enough just in case everyone loves it!

      I have never done this but it would work just fine. Make the casserole, according to recipe, and put into your baking dish. I would then just save the other half of fried onions and cheese in a small bowl. When you're ready to bake it, sprinkle the leftover onion/cheese mixture on top and bake. You may have to add maybe 5 minutes to the baking time because the dish will be cold OR you could take it out of the fridge about 30 minutes before baking so it's not quite as cold. I hope that helps. Enjoy :)

    I just realized that we have a lot of “mushy” foods on our menu for thanksgiving this year; Sweet potatoe casserole, Mac n cheese, mashed potatoes etc. so I wanted something a little more crisp. But I feel like green bean casserole is always a so bland! I’m going to add this to the menu! I’m going to make it the day before and add the onions and bake the day if. Can’t wait to try it!

      It probably could, although the onions on top of the casserole may not get a nice crisp to them. Maybe cook it in the microwave and then broil it for just a minute in the oven, after everything else is done cooking in it. Hopefully that helps a little bit :) Good luck.

    Tastes much better than the original with creamed soup. Fresh mushrooms can always be added if you love mushrooms, but I made this with a couple of picky eaters in mind. Everyone was happy with it. Delicious! The only thing I changed, was I used fresh chopped onion in the green bean mixture in place of french fried onions because I was prepping this ahead of time and wanted to avoid any soggy french fried onions. When I was ready to bake it, I then added the french fried onions to the top.

      I have never made this with fresh beans so I honestly would have no idea where to start. You would need enough to fill a 9x13 dish, and you may have to precook them slightly beforehand so they are sure to cook all the way through. Just a thought, and again, I am not totally sure about it as I've never used them. Enjoy :)

    My family makes a green bean casserole very similar to yours. We layer American cheese and cornflake crumbs on top, instead of fried onions. In recent years, I’ve switched the American to gruyere cheese (because gruyere!) and I started using fresh beans (I steam them for about 10 mins before adding them to the casserole). This casserole has so many wonderful memories. I was an Air Force brat, and for several years we were stationed with another family we became close with. I remember shared Thanksgivings with them and Connie (wife/mom of other family) bringing this casserole. It’s been a holiday staple ever since. I was into adulthood before I realized there was another green bean casserole. ? Happy Thanksgiving!

    This recipie was a huge hit at thanksgiving and I just made another one today because I can’t wait til Christmas to have it again. I want to stress to definitely buy the French’s brand onions. I bought the store brand to save 50 cents and that was the wrong choice because it turns out there’s a huge difference. Sometimes I skip the butter flour step and just open the cans, mix in the sour cream and the cheese and dried diced onions, top with the fries..... still good

    I usually make Green Bean Casserole the traditional way, but I have a friend coming in for thanksgiving that is allergic to mushrooms so Im trying to find a different recipe for her. I dont like sour cream or greek yogurt is there any way I could make this with cream cheese or something else instead of those? Is there someone else that made this with the sour cream that doesnt usually like it but liked it in this? Thanks for the help, Stephany W.
    Reply

    • Together As Family

      I have never personally tried it with anything other than sour cream. I will say, that two of my kids don't like sour cream and they never notice it in this recipe. The sour cream adds a creamy texture but does not necessarily taste like sour cream. If you don't like yogurt then I would say try the cream cheese, but I think the cream cheese would give the dish a more overwhelming cream/rich texture and taste. But I could be wrong! Maybe try making it to see how you like it before serving it for Thanksgiving. You can easily half the recipe and make it in a 8x8 just for taste test purposes. Hope that helps :) Enjoy!

    This is the best green bean casserole! Much better flavor than using soup ( I always half the recipe, too much for just the 2 of us) I recently used green beans that had red pepper and onions in them due to the recent run on canned vegetables...it was delicious!

    Hands down my favorite green bean casserole recipe! I have made this multiple times for different events and everyone always comments how much better it tastes than green bean casserole with mushrooms. THANK YOU!

    I'm a mushroom LOVER and was so sad last year when I had to make a mushroomless green bean casserole for my mushroom hating MIL. Your recipe was amazing though! And here I will be this year, no mushroom haters in sight, and I'll be making it again. Thank you!

    I was wondering if the cook time and temperature stay the same if you double the recipe?

      Temperature for sure stays the same. Are you putting a doubled recipe into one 9x13 baking pan? If you are, then it will probably need more time. Like an additional 15 mintues.... if you are putting each recipe into it's own 9x13 pan then keep the cook time the same.

    Thank you for this recipe. I made it vegan (vegan butter, vegan cheese). Didn't have any sour cream, so I subbed the only thing I did have on hand, cashew milk. Brought the cashew milk to a boil for 10 seconds and let it sit before adding it in place of the sour cream. Didn't really expect the casserole to turn out creamy with the substitution, BUT it did. Put it in my recipe binder for next year!

    First ever recipe review...I just had to let you know....We all loved this dish!!! Even the ones who expect the cream of mushroom soup version at the Thanksgiving table every year, raved about this! The only substitution I had to make was using a dairy free sour cream. Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe, I can now enjoy green bean casserole. If you are reading reviews trust me, Try this recipe, you will love it!

    I took this recipe, used half the green beans and put in two large chicken breasts to make a complete meal. Needed a bit more seasoning and onions for our taste but that's easily done. All in all a great recipe!

      If you added chicken then yes it would of needed more seasoning. Great idea to make it a complete meal!

    I love this recipe. A lot of people in my family don't like traditional green bean casserole so I decided to try this and hope for the best. I doubled the recipe and cooked it at the same time and temp and it seemed to work well. I would probably put it in for maybe 10 minutes more. But everyone loved it! Even people who dont like sour cream. This is going to become a regular recipe in my house! I think next time I'll add more seasonings but not salt. It had just enough salt it just needs a slight more flavor.

    Green bean casseroles have always tasted weird or off to my so I decided to find a recipe without mushrooms and it tasted so good! My family used to buy the Safeway Thanksgiving meal kit and the green bean casserole in that tasted great but we haven't been able to the past two years so we had to either home or box make everything. Last year I found a green bean casserole with cream of mushroom and it did not sit well with me at all. But this! This made me so happy to eat and I plan on making it every Thanksgiving and I'm sure it's going to be something I just make a lot. Thank you!!
