The Best Green Bean Casserole
This recipe is a long time family favorite. I can’t imagine a holiday without Green Bean Casserole. Completely from scratch, no canned cream-of-anything needed here!
Our family is OBSESSED with this recipe. It makes an appearance at every holiday get together– Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, Sunday dinners, everything. We seriously love green bean casserole.
I didn’t realize until I was an adult that this recipe is really unique among your typical green bean casseroles. Mainly because it contains absolutely no cream-of-anything condensed soup! There are no mushrooms, no mystery sauce, nothing weird. You’ll need butter and flour for a traditional roux. Add to that sour cream, a few seasonings (including a little sugar, which I think is the key secret ingredient), the fried onions and cheese, and then green beans of course!
You’ll never make green bean casserole any other way once you’ve tried our Grandma’s recipe. I guarantee it!

How many would you say this serves?
I used this as inspiration and made some personal preference updates. So good! Thank you ☺️
So glad you liked it!
So sorry for the delay in reply– it makes a 9×13 dish, which I think typically serves about 12. Although my family dishes up BIG servings of this, so it doesn't go quite as far with us 🙂
This. is. the. best!! My second batch I used fresh steamed green beans. Was even better with fresh!!

So glad to hear you loved it! I am going to have to try it with fresh green beans one of these days– brilliant!
I found this recipe on Pinterest and have made it several times. When I looked it up this time, I found it had been blocked. Just wanted to let you know so that you can hopefully get that remedied. Thanks for the recipes,
This is our family's traditional green bean casserole as well. My grandmother said that the recipe was printed in the newspaper some time in the 60's as a contest winner and she made it every Thanksgiving until she was no longer able to cook. We've made a few adjustments over the years. My uncle didn't like onions, so she switched it to crushed cornflakes with melted butter. I don't like canned green beans, so I use
frozen (1 16 oz bag of french cut to one cup of sour cream,) and I omit the sugar because I don't think it adds anything. I often use dried minced onions, as that gives a nice toasty flavor. If I don't have Corn Flakes on hand, I'll use crushed Ritz crackers or breadcrumbs. I've even used Frosted Flakes! This is a Thanksgiving staple and usually comes out at Easter and sometimes just a regular old Tuesday.
I can’t believe you used **can** green beans! You made it sound as if your recipe was going to be so healthy, and it is not!! I would never buy can veggies!?
Can you use frozen green beans? Should,they be thawed before blended in with butter mixture
Smh ??
Omg what a disgrace. Some one made food how they wanted to make it. Thats just so wrong of them. How dare them ����
