Can I just say that I have a major obsession with Thanksgiving food? Casseroles are some of my favorite dishes. Typically casseroles are super easy to make, and are a Thanksgiving staple. My husband’s favorite is the simple green bean casserole. Honestly, I should make this more often because it is so easy to make. So if you ware looking for a really easy dish to take to a Thanksgiving get together, you should check this recipe out.
Simple Green Bean Casserole
Seriously, this recipe is so easy that I almost feel silly posting it. I have seen a lot of really interesting green bean casserole recipes that are new twists on this classic dish, but this is not one of those recipes. This is the classic and simple green bean casserole that we all grew up eating at grandma’s table on Thanksgiving and Christmas.
I ended up making a rather small batch, but the beauty of this recipe is that you can double it rather easily. Depending how large of a crew you want to feed will determine how much of each ingredient you will need.
My small batch used 2 cans of green beans, 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, 1 bag of fried onions, and about 2/3 cup of whole milk.
All you need to do is mix together your green beans ( drained), cream of mushroom soup, milk, and about 1/4 of the onions. Feel free to season with salt and pepper to taste. Then you just top with the rest of the fried onions and you are good to go. Bake your casserole at 350 for 15-20 minutes.
Seriously, that is it! You are now ready to enjoy this Thanksgiving classic. I told you I feel silly sharing this, but I know there are some out there who want just the basic version of this classic.

This might sound crazy, but I have never had a green bean casserole before. I have seen them on commercials and places like this, but never tried one. I need to get on that.
you totally need to try it!
I’ve never been a fan of green bean casserole until a few years back. I make mine the same way, but I use cheese too. It gives it an extra special flavor.
OoO I have never tried it with cheese, That sounds great!
I love green bean casserole! It’s a staple side dish when we make a roast in the crock pot!
We happen to like all the trimmings that come with a thankssgiving meal and not the turkey! My husband is the only person who likes the turkey and it is such a chore to make and no one eats it. I told him, no go this year. ☺
I love this casserole. I have been enjoying it since I was a child. I don’t know why I only have it at Thanksgiving? It’s so simple and the ingredients are readily available all year long. I need to start getting it into my meal rotations! Thanks for the reminders 🙂
I know right! I feel like I need to start adding “thanksgiving foods” into a normal rotation lol
I can’t remember the last time I had green bean casserole but YUM. This recipe looks SO delicious!
I think green bean casserole is following me around today. Something is telling me to make it. I grew up eating regular green beans on Thanksgiving, but my husband had casserole, so we try to alternate. Guess it’s his year and I’ll have to try this recipe!
Nothing wrong with a classic and simple recipe I sometimes think that they are best! I love the sound of your bean casserole it sounds delicious!
That looks really good! I’ve never tried making green bean casserole before. It’s definitely something that I wouldn’t mind trying out. Love that it’s easy to put together.
This is one of my favorite dishes at Thanksgiving. The topping is the best! I have never made a green bean casserole though myself.
You just cannot go wrong with a delicious classic like green bean casserole. It’s a favorite for everyone at our Thanksgiving.
This is a staple for every holiday occasion. It is so good!
Green bean casserole is a staple for our Thanksgiving table. We love the creaminess in the dish and the crunchiness on top!
This is a staple at our Thanksgiving meal and has been for as long as I can remember. I’m not a green bean fan so I tend to skip it, but everyone else gobbles it up.
That is the recipe I grew up on and make for my family. It is such a classic, you cannot go wrong with it!
We have this ongoing debate about the type of green beans to use in green bean casserole. My mom only likes it mushy and gross. I like it with firmer, fresh or frozen green beans.
I grew up with it being canned green beans…I do like the fresh, but the frozen always come out with an odd texture to me
That’s my favorite Thanksgiving side dish! I love that it’s such a simple tasty recipe!
I haven’t ever made a green bean casserole before. This looks great! I wonder if my kids would enjoy this as much as I would! I will have to make it and see!
I grew up with this green bean casserole and can’t imagine the holidays without it! It’s honestly annoying when it gets variations on Thanksgiving for our family meal. I love a classic.
I am gonna make this for Thanksgiving. I just brought everything today.
