Green Bean Casserole is always a hit during the holidays.

It’s versatile and can be paired with a variety of main dishes, from roasted meats to vegetarian options.

With healthier ingredient swaps you can enjoy the same comforting flavors that make Green Bean Casserole a holiday favorite.

The Ingredients

Green Beans: I used French style canned green beans. It’s what my Mom always used so I stuck with what I knew.

Cream of Mushroom: To lighten the recipe up I used 98% fat free cream of mushroom soup. It’s a small change that lowers the points without sacrificing flavor.

Milk: Instead of using regular milk I used skim milk, another small change to lower the points.

Crispy Fried Onions: No Green Bean Casserole is complete without the crispy onion topping. This is where the majority of the points come from.

Seasonings: I seasoned the casserole with garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.

How to Make Green Bean Casserole

Add the cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper to a large mixing bowl. Whisk the ingredients together.

Drain the green beans and add them to the mixing bowl. Stir all of the ingredients together.

Spray an 8×8 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and pour in the green bean mixture.

Bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees F.

Take the Green Bean Casserole out of the oven and top with 1 cup of the crispy fried onions.

Place it back in the oven for 5 minutes or until the crispy fried onions turn golden.

Serving Suggestions

Green Bean Casserole is the perfect side dish. It goes well with roasted turkey, glazed ham, or herb-stuffed chicken.

For a festive touch, garnish your casserole with fresh herbs just before serving. A sprinkle of chopped parsley, chives, or thyme can add a pop of color and a burst of fresh flavor, enhancing both the look and taste of the dish.
