Not your Grandma's Green Bean Casserole Recipe

- This homemade green bean casserole is loaded with pan-roasted mushrooms in a tasty cream sauce and topped off with fried onions straws.
Green bean casserole was popularized in America during the 1950s due to an employee in the test kitchens at the Campbell’s Soup Company, but it was originally called a ‘Green Bean Bake.” It’s a tasty casserole side dish often served at holiday dinner tables. While the original uses cans of cream of mushroom, I believe my homemade version is just another level of deliciousness.
When you make this green bean casserole from scratch, you know what’s in it, and the flavor is far better than anything that’s coming out of a can. In addition, to pan-roasting mushrooms and cooking them in a delicious cream sauce, I also opted to use fresh haricot verts or French string beans.
Ingredients for this recipe:
For the Green Beans:
• 2 pounds trimmed haricot verts or green beans
• 8 strips sliced bacon
• 8 ounces sliced button mushrooms
• 8 ounces sliced cremini mushrooms
• 1 cup pearl onions or diced yellow onions
• 4 finely minced garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups chicken stock
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 ½ tablespoons diced fresh thyme
• salt and pepper to taste
For the Onion Straws
• 1 egg whisked with ½ cup of whole milk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 peeled very thinly sliced yellow onion
• salt and pepper to taste
• oil for frying
Serves 12
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Procedures:
1. Preheat the oven to 225°.
2. Add the green beans to a large pot of boiling, salted water for 3 to 4 minutes or until cooked and slightly firm. Immediately add them to a large container of ice water and chill until cold. Strain and set aside.
3. In a large frying pan or cast-iron skillet over medium heat, add in the bacon and cook until very crispy brown, about 5 minutes. Remove the crispy brown bacon and set them aside.
4. Add the mushrooms and onions to the pan with rendered bacon fat over medium-high heat and brown them well, which takes about 10 to 15 minutes. Stir often.
5. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute and then sprinkle in the flour and mix until completely combined.
6. Pour in the chicken stock and cook over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes or until very thick. Pour in the cream and cook until it becomes very thick like alfredo sauce.
7. Stir in the crispy bacon lardons, fresh thyme, season with salt and pepper, and then fold in the chilled, strained green beans.
8. Place the pan in the oven at 225° for 20 to 30 minutes while making the onion straws.
9. Add the egg mixed with milk into a medium-size bowl.
10. In a separate medium-size bowl mix together the flour with salt, pepper, and paprika.
11. Add the sliced onions in egg wash and mix, and then dredge them in flour until completely coated.
12. Fry the onions straws in a pot or cast-iron skillet of oil at 350° until crispy brown, which takes about 1 to 2 minutes. Drain the onions on a cookie sheet tray lined with paper towels.
13. Add the onion straws to the top of the green bean casserole and serve.
Chef Notes:
Make-Ahead: You can make this recipe up to 1 hour before serving. Cover and keep warm in the oven at 200° before serving.
How to Reheat: Add the desired amount to a casserole dish and cover with foil. Bake in the oven at 350° for 15 to 20 minutes or until hot. You can also heat in the microwave until hot.
Hot to Store: Cover and keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
If you want to make this the night before keeping the sauce separate from the blanched green beans and keep covered in the refrigerator until ready to cook. Mix and then add to a casserole dish, cover with foil, and bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until hot. Garnish with onion straws.
You can make onion straws the night before by frying and keeping on paper towels covered in plastic wrap until ready to serve the next day.
If you are using canned green beans, you will not need to blanch them, simply mix once the sauce is done cooking and place in the oven at the same temperature to heat up while making the onions straws.
Yes, you can use pre-made onion straws.
Perfectly substitute haricot verts for regular green beans.
Made this today! Out of this world!!! Prepare to the T & everyone was in love with this dish. I have never done anything w mushroom, lest any homemade cream sauce! Now I can’t stop thinking about this dish and it’s taste. Thanks Chef! Adored this recipe
I'll never look at this classic the same. You really took it to another level Chef Billy! Not only did I add this to my grocery list for the week but I'm excited to try the creamy sauce on a good filet mignon.
Thank you for all your amazing receipts.
Recipe * oops 😬 thank you again.
Im gonna attempt this, wish me luck. Looks delicious
Can't wait to make this thanks
My ultimate favorite side dish.
Looks so good. I'm making that green bean casserole. I'm using my electric casserole dish. Thanks Chep!! Looks so Goooood!
This is delicious!! I do think you need to not be in a rush in order to enjoy making this, and have lots of time, because there are a lot of steps. But nothing difficult. I’ll be sure to make it ahead for Thanksgiving.
I tried this recipe with a few tweaks you may want to give a go, first I added roasted garlic instead of minced, then a pinch of nutmeg to the shrooms which I used shiitake, and added a bit of turmeric and ginger to the onion crisps. Oh 😋
My neighbor always brags on how great her green bean casserole is and it’s good. I’m going to make this recipe and blow hers out of the water. :) Thank you Chef Billy Parisi
Who ever reads this I hope you have an amazing day!
how was the recipe? did u get to make it?
Made a couple swaps for a vegan version, tasted absolutely fantastic, will definitely cook again, thanks for this video Chef
I’ve been meaning to ask what brand of pot to use with the strainer?
I have not found a green bean dish without cream, Im lactose intolerant.
Do you have "Hoods Country Creamer" by you? It's in the dairy isle. It is lactose and cholesterol free. I've tried it in baking as a substitute in baking and it worked out fine.
Hey Billy, I’ve made this twice now and delicious both times. But today, I used the sauce as a base for tuna noodle casserole and wow! So good! I added some carrots in w the mushrooms and onions, used 1lb of a small twist pasta, 2 cans of drained tuna and a pack of thawed peas. I was excited to share that this recipe has taken on another life!
Wow ‼It's a healthy and energizing food. I love it. Thank you very much. from Japan 💛💛💛💛
This turned out so good, thank you Chef! Another hands up walk away banger man!!
I made this today and followed the recipe to the letter! All I can say is…WOW!!! You are ABSOLUTELY correct! This will be my go to from now on! My family LOVED it! Thank you for this delicious recipe! Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
I cannot wait to make this amazing recipe exclamation that can't be anything better than a green bean casserole all fresh ingredients all the way through and through!
Thanks to the chef for giving us a totally fresh prepared green bean casserole. I'll certainly be making this one. Looks delicious!
Wonderful recipe, thank you 🥰 I am going to cook it for the first time for like 20 people 😮 I just wanted to ask, can it be served cold, or it needs to be warm when eating? Thank you 🤗
It looks so perfect and tasty,nice preparation 👍 good content 👌🤝
Can't wait to make this for thanksgiving!!
awesome
I'm a child of the 1960s. I like the Campbells Soup green bean casserole. I like the beans soft and mushy.
Oh my gosh yes! Awesome!! I love it!
I skipped making the fried onions and topped with a little Romano cheese. Otherwise followed the recipe and it’s completely delicious! This will probably be the best side dish when I attend my sister’s Thanksgiving. Awesome recipe!!!
Updated 11/23/22…I made them last year and was asked to make them again this year. Still a great recipe. I wish I could bottle the smell because it’s everything delish!
Thanks, Chef.
There are some interesting ideas here to mix with my existing practice. But you've blown my mind on the "bake" aspect of this...
Really love this.... first time I've seen you on here, but you get a like and subscribe.
Chef Billy, I made this for Thanksgiving and it was a hit, along with your garlic mashed taters!!! So, thanks!
Thanks Chef! Like you, I pride myself in an all scratch Thanksgiving. I have taken a "few" shortcuts over the years (store bought bakery cornbread and canned biscuits), but that's it. I always disliked the old GB casserole recipe, but this looks amazing!
I'm trying this next year this looks delicious.😍
WOW. 💖💖💖LOOKS DELICIOUS!!!!❤❤❤
Thank you for this exciting easy to make, vegetarian dish! ….
Fantastic! Thanks!
Thank you Chef Billy
So delicious!!!! Thank you!
I just made this for a pot luck (someone actually requested green bean casserole!) and it is absolutely delicious. Thank you for a wonderful recipe. 👍🏻
Appreciate you trying it many thanks!
ok i I never made the traditional green bean casserole for all the reasons Chef Billy Parisi said that "this was the one". Making his recipe now for a group function. I have the selfish hope that no one will like it because it is tasting awesome at this point - would love to have lots of leftovers to bring home. i just need to stir in the bacon bits and fry up the onion straws. I actually bought some gluten free organic straws which taste yucky after everthing else in this recipe. I used rice flour in the Rue and plan on using it on my homemade straws bc we have gluten free folks in our group. So far so great. Go for it!
I've been making homemade green bean casserole for a few years now.....but I'm trying your version this year!! The bacon......
I am attempting this recipe for tomorrow's festivities. My daughter wanted the mushy canned soup recipe, I refuse!!😉
Okay, I’d like to make this one day ahead of time. Should I wait to bake it in the oven before I serve it? Or should I go ahead and lightly bake it without the onions and then warm it up the next day?
Actully my mum and grandmom always put in chicken breast cuttet into small cubes, and then they made rice to this dish, but it looks very delicious
This is perfect. We make something close but I'm going to try this! With roasted slivered almonds or pine nuts.
I'm my humble opinion, for a green bean casserole that is, if it's coming out of a can, you should run.
I made these and they were sooo delicious. The best anybody have ever had! thank you!
nice but the fat content in this recipe has my arteries screaming!!
Perfect! I,ll try it tonite wish me luck!!v
LOL I really like it with canned consistency green beans sorry
I like my greenbeans soft
Love your recipe, but I don't know that I would want to have all that grease/lard in my dish...doesn't seem healthy...I would probably sub with olive oil or avocado oil mixed with butter and add the bacon bits...thoughts???
Well, it’s a side dish. It’s very rich but you’re not going to eat a ton of it. You could probably use a little less bacon fat.
Half and half instead of cream?
Where do I find the recipe quantities
There's measurements in the video's description
Hello! I tried out your recipe. Just wanted to let you know it was a hit for our Christmas dinner. Thank you so much for this video!

I watched your video. The videos are beautiful. Video quality is very nice but like view subscribe is very low, another is more, if you have you can be a professional youtuber. Do you want to be a professional?
