This fresh green bean casserole is a classic holiday favorite! This version is just as creamy as the original with fresh green beans, cream of mushroom soup and fried onions.

Ingredients

  • 15 ounce can chicken broth
  • 4 cups green beans (, trimmed to 2-inch pieces)
  • 3 Tablespoons butter (, I used salted)
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onions
  • 1-2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 10 ounce can cream of mushroom
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cups french fried onions (, divided (more if desired))
  • 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese (, more if desired)

Directions

  1. 1

    Prep. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish.

  2. 2

    Parboil green beans. Heat 15 ounces chicken broth in a skillet over medium-heat. Add 4 cups fresh green beans and simmer for 7 minutes until tender crisp. You can also use water if preferred (the chicken broth just adds another depth of flavor). Drain extra liquid and dump into casserole dish.

  3. 3

    Saute onion and garlic. Add 3 Tablespoons butter and 1/2 cup chopped onions to skillet. Cook for 3 minutes. Then stir 1-2 teaspoons garlic and cook an additional 1-2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Cream of mushroom sauce. Add 10 ounces cream of mushroom soup and 1/3 cup milk. Let simmer a minute or two. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour mixture into the casserole dish. Mix in 1/2 cup cheese and 1/2 cup fried onions.

  5. 5

    Bake uncovered for 20 minutes. Stir and then add the remaining 1 cup fried onions to the top. Bake an additional 10 minutes, or until green beans are tender.
