Green Bean Casserole- Two Ways is the best way to make and serve a green bean casserole for a holiday dinner. Everyone will be happy!
I’m sure the classic green bean casserole recipe using cream of mushroom soup and French’s Crispy Fried Onions is on everyone’s holiday menu already. Am I right? It’s the green bean casserole we all grew up with, and let’s face it… that casserole is a childhood favorite Thanksgiving memory for so many of us. My Mom made it every year. It was definitely a recipe to look forward to! I would never leave the classic green bean casserole off my list of recipes to make for Thanksgiving (we love it too much!), but there’s a way to make it even better. I’m going to show you how to make Green Bean Casserole- Two Ways! We’re going to make two different green bean casseroles in one dish!
Ingredients for Green Bean Casserole- Two Ways:
Here’s everything you’re going to need to make green bean casserole- two ways. I’m using fresh green beans in mine, but you can certainly use canned green beans instead. This recipe is made delicious with highlighted McCormick spices: Rubbed Sage, Thyme Leaves, Garlic Powder and Ground Black Pepper.
And there are plenty of French’s Crispy Fried Onions in this two way casserole as well!
How to Make Green Bean Casserole- Two Ways:
You’re going to start with a rectangular casserole dish, and use aluminum foil to divide it down the middle. I have two super-easy green bean casserole recipes for you to make, and you’ll put one casserole in each side of the dish. If you have picky eaters, they’ll be happy that they have two choices for green beans!
How to Make French’s Green Bean Casserole:
The classic French’s Green Bean Casserole will go in one side of your casserole dish. Combine cream of mushroom soup, milk and McCormick® Ground Black Pepper. Then you’ll add cooked fresh green beans and French’s Crispy Fried Onions. That’s it! Spoon that mixture into one side of your divided casserole dish.
How to Make Garlic- Parmesan Green Bean Casserole:
Garlic- Parmesan Green Bean Casserole will go on the other side of your casserole dish. Combine hot cream, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, McCormick® Garlic Powder, McCormick® Thyme Leaves, McCormick® Rubbed Sage, McCormick® Ground Black Pepper and salt. Add fresh green beans and French’s Crispy Fried Onions. So easy! Spoon that mixture into the other side of your divided casserole dish.
And here’s how it all comes together. Two recipes for green bean casserole are in just one dish. Each are neatly snuggled onto their own side of the casserole dish. They are both baked at the same temperature for the same amount of time. Easy peasy! After 30 minutes in the oven, each of these green bean casseroles are topped with a few more of those fabulous French’s Crispy Fried Onions and baked just 5 more minutes until the onions are golden brown.
Fresh out of the oven, your guests can choose which green bean casserole they’d like to have with their meal. They may choose to have the Garlic- Parmesan Green Bean Casserole, which has great flavors of Parmesan, garlic and spices- along with the crunch of the French’s Crispy Fried Onions.
Or they may choose to have the classic French’s Green Bean Casserole- the creamy option with bits of mushroom and French’s Crispy Fried Onions. It’s nice for people to be able to have a choice of how they might like to eat their green beans. And I think everyone will appreciate this unique way of serving them. Or if your guests are anything like me, they’ll want to try a little of both green bean casseroles!
