Cheesy Green Bean Casserole

I am in love with casseroles all year long but especially in the fall. There are so many reasons to love casseroles. They can be made ahead of time, feed a crowd, and leftovers reheat well.

Green Bean Casserole is always a family a favorite. Except with my son who always says I should have made broccoli casseroleinstead.

Sometimes I make Slow Cooker Green Bean Casseroleto free up oven space, but this recipe is probably my favorite green bean casserole recipe.

UPDATE: I have a new favorite Green Beand Casserole- Cream Cheese Bacon Green Bean Casserole.

The cup and a half of shredded cheddar cheese gives it a richer and more comforting flavor. The only problem with Cheesy Green Bean Casserole is it is so good you won’t want to eat anything else with it and it’s supposed to be a side, not the main dish. I’m thinking about making it next time with just a little shredded chicken added in so I can call it a main dish casserole.

Can I Make This Casserole With Canned Green Beans

Many of you have asked if you can make this casserole with canned green beans. Yes, you can. Although I prefer it with fresh, you can make it with either canned or frozen. If using canned, 3 cans should be enough. You will not need the chicken broth.

Variations

For extra flavor try adding a little cooked and crumbled bacon.
