Green Bean Casserole

Creamy, cheesy, crunchy and full of green beans, this Green Bean Casserole is so easy to make… and it doesn’t use any canned soup!

Happy Thanksgiving week!  I can’t even believe it’s just a couple of days away.  Thanksgiving brings back so many awesome memories for me that I will always cherish and hold dear.

Every year I always make this delicious side dish, because I just don’t think Thanksgiving is complete without it.  But I have to admit that I’ve always used canned condensed soup… until now!

I really don’t mind using canned soup, but I know there are some people that are against it, so I wanted to try it without it.  It wasn’t much trouble at all and was AMAZING!  This recipe is still somewhat “semi” homemade, because I used canned green beans.  Hey, I realize there’s a lot going on in the kitchen during Thanksgiving and it’s just more convenient.

And those crispy French fried onions over that melted cheese… mercy!  I also add mushrooms to my green bean casserole because I ADORE mushrooms and add them to anything I possibly can.  If you’re not a fan of mushrooms, just omit them!

What is your must-have side dish during the holidays?  Happy Thanksgiving and happy cooking!  🙂
