Paula Deen Green Bean Casserole
A traditional Southern Style side dish, made from scratch Paula Deen Green Bean Casserole recipe. Made with fresh mushrooms, fried onions, cream of mushroom soup and cheese.
Equipment
- 9x13 Casserole Dish
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup french fried onions
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups fresh green beans chopped into thirds
- ½ cup mushrooms sliced
- ½ yellow onion diced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup cheddar cheese grated
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Melt butter in a large skillet and sauté mushrooms and onions until golden brown. Set aside.
- Remove both ends/tips of the fresh green beans and then chop the beans into thirds.
- In a medium size saucepan bring 3 cups of chicken broth to a boil. Place the chopped green beans into the boiling chicken broth and cook for ten minutes. Drain beans.
- In a 9x13 casserole dish, add the cooked green beans, cream of mushroom soup, french fried onions, sautéed mushrooms and onions, and salt and pepper. Stir well. Make sure the casserole is evenly distributed across the pan. See photos above for a great visual. Bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, top with cheddar cheese and cook for another 10 minutes.
Notes
- Make sure not to overcook your green beans. This recipe tastes best with perfectly al dente beans instead of mushy.
- Use frozen green beans or canned beans instead of fresh. Don't boil the canned green beans as you would the fresh green beans or they'll become mushy.
- For added protein, add 1 cup shredded chicken with the cream of mushroom soup.
- Not a fan of mushrooms? Make this recipe without mushrooms by skipping the fresh mushrooms and using cream of chicken soup instead of cream of mushroom soup.
- Use cream cheese and sour cream instead of cream of soups. Use 4 ounces of softened cream cheese and ½ cup sour cream.
- To make with tater tots: cook 2 cups of Tator tots until cripsy. Add to the bottom of the casserole dish and then top with the green bean mixture and bake as normal.
- Try adding ½ cup cooked bacon cut into bite sized pieces and mix in with casserole for a delicious twist!
