FAQ

Is green bean casserole better with fresh or canned beans?

I would stick to fresh green beans with this recipe! Canned green beans tend to be mushy and tasteless once baked into the casserole, but using fresh beans cooked in chicken broth makes them perfectly crisp-tender and full of flavor! I just grab a few big handfuls of beans, chop off the ends, and cut them in half.

How do you keep green bean casserole from getting mushy?

Add a thickener

While your green bean casserole is on the stove, incorporate a thickener into the vegetables, such as cornstarch or flour. According to The Kitchn, you can combine cornstarch and a small amount of water or broth in a cup and stir until the lumps are gone, and it becomes a thick yet drizzly consistency.

Are you supposed to cover green bean casserole when baking?

Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, until hot and bubbly in the center, about 30 to 40 minutes.

Is it OK to make green bean casserole ahead of time?

So, by now you get it—it is perfectly fine to make a green bean casserole in advance of your dinner. Freezing one, however is another matter. Whether you make it from scratch or use canned soup, the sauce will likely break, separate, and be a watery mess.
