Cheddar Green Bean Casserole
A holiday must-have that disappears first! Fresh green beans, sautéed mushrooms & onions, creamy mushroom soup, and sharp cheddar, all topped with double the crispy fried onions
Ingredients
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup sweet onion diced
- 8 oz fresh mushrooms diced
- 4 cups green beans
- 1 tsp chicken bouillon granules
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 2 6 oz cans french fried onions cheddar if you can find it
- 11/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp house seasoning fresh recipe below
Fresh House Seasoning
- 1 cup salt
- 1/4 cup black pepper
- 1/4 cup garlic powder Mid together and keep in an airtight jar for up to 6 months.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 1½–2 quart baking dish.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté onions and mushrooms until golden and fragrant, about 6–8 minutes.
- Add green beans, 1 tsp chicken bouillon granules, and House Seasoning. If using fresh beans, add ¼ cup water, cover, and cook 8–10 minutes until bright green and just tender. (Canned beans only need 2–3 minutes.)
- Stir in the cream of mushroom soup and 1 can of French fried onions until everything is beautifully coated.
- Pour into your prepared baking dish. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes.
- Pull it out, sprinkle the shredded cheddar all over, then crown it with the second can of fried onions.
- Bake another 10–15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the onions are deep golden.
- Let rest 5 minutes (so nobody burns their tongue!), crack a little extra pepper on top, and serve with pride!
