Green Bean Casserole with Caramelized Onions and Mushrooms

jump to recipe

A staple that has graced us with its presence every year and we couldn’t be more thankful because it is always sure to leave our tummies happy and full.

Once your guests get their hands on this green bean casserole you better watch out, because it will not last long! Better yet, you might as well make two batches: one for yourself and one for your guests because there will not be any leftovers for you to take home at the end of the night.

This is as from scratch as it gets, there are no canned items involved here. Nix the canned green beans, nix the canned mushroom soup and opt for fresh ingredients this year. This recipes includes fresh cut green beans, fresh sliced mushrooms, caramelized onions from a freshly chopped onion and creamy flavorful homemade sauce. The only exception I make to this recipe is the crispy onion topping that I do not make from scratch, because this is one of those items that is just better right off the shelf.

Not only is this side dish completely amazing and life changing, it is budget friendly too! With only 3 main ingredients and a few pantry staples you can whip this up in no time and impress all of your guests while staying on a budget.

Speaking of whip this up in no time...another thing worth mentioning is how easy it is to make this recipe for your loved ones! My step by step photos above and written directions below will help you through this and it will be a breeze.

Thanksgiving can be chaotic as is with your to-do list that feels endless and preparing to see your family while also still taking care of your everyday life needs. So, I made this as easy as possible for you to help eliminate any additional stress also, without compromising the flavors or textures that go into this recipe. Overall, this is a win win and I am pretty sure this recipes checks every box to meet your needs.
