Description
A creamy, crispy, and comforting gluten free green bean casserole that brings everyone to the holiday table. Made with fresh green beans, a rich mushroom sauce, and a golden breadcrumb-onion topping, this inclusive twist on the classic delivers unbeatable flavor and texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
- 3 cups gluten free cream of mushroom soup
- Reserved mushrooms from soup preparation
- 1½ cups coarse gluten free bread crumbs (180g)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 ounces finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (optional)
- 1½ cups gluten free crispy fried onions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Bring salted water to a boil and blanch green beans for 3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and pat completely dry.
- In a large pot, fold green beans with cream of mushroom soup and ¾ of the Parmesan. Mix gently to coat without breaking the beans.
- Transfer to baking dish, top with reserved mushrooms and half of the remaining cheese.
- Combine gluten free breadcrumbs with melted butter until evenly coated. Sprinkle mixture over casserole, then top with remaining cheese.
- Bake 15 minutes until golden and bubbling. Remove from oven and top immediately with crispy fried onions. Press gently to adhere and serve warm.
Notes
Always pat green beans dry after blanching to prevent watery casserole. Add crispy onions only after baking for best crunch. Can be made ahead and refrigerated up to 3 days before baking. Perfect for Thanksgiving, potlucks, or family dinners.
