Can I make this Homestyle Green Bean Casserole ahead of time?

Yes, prepare the casserole without adding the topping. Cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours, then bake with onions just before serving.

Can I use canned green beans?

You can, but Frozen Green Beans keep a fresher texture and color, making them the preferred choice for Delicious Green Beans dishes.

Simply halve the ingredients for a Green Bean Casserole For 2 and bake in a small dish for 20–25 minutes.

Use low-fat milk, homemade soup, and baked onion crisps. You can also skip the butter for a lighter version of this Green Bean Casserole Easy recipe.
