❤️ Why you’ll love this Thanksgiving casserole

• It combines two favorite Thanksgiving dishes—stuffing and green bean casserole—into one delicious dish. It’s one less dish to cook and wash and everyone will still get their faves.
• It’s easy to make! Just 10 minutes to put the casserole together and 40 minutes in the oven.
• It can be made ahead of time. Leave the fried onion topping off and store it, covered, in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat it by topping it with the onions and reheating in a 350°F oven.
• It’s easy to make vegetarian to provide a filling and delicious dish that everyone can enjoy.

✅ What ingredients do you need?

This delicious Green Bean Stuffing Casserole only requires a handful of ingredients. Here’s what you need:

• Soup: Use one 10 1/2-ounce can condensed cream of mushroom soup (such as Campbell’s). For more meaty flavor, you could substitute cream of chicken soup.
• Milk: Use whole or low-fat milk. I wouldn’t recommend using nonfat milk here.
• Soy sauce: This adds salt and umami. Feel free to substitute Worcestershire sauce if you don’t have soy sauce.
• Green beans: Fresh green beans are the best, but you can use frozen green beans here. I don’t recommend using canned green beans, but they’ll be fine in a pinch.
• Stuffing mix: One box of stuffing mix provides the stuffing layer.
• Broth: Use chicken broth or vegetable broth if you want to make it vegetarian.
• Butter: You can use salted or unsalted butter.
• Fried onions: Use crispy canned french fried onions. It’s a nostalgic topping that really makes the dish. You could fry your own onions, but I find the canned ones to be even more satisfying.

🧑🏻‍🍳 How do you make it?

This delicious side dish is super easy to make! Just mix a few things together, layer them in a baking dish, and bake. Here’s how to make this Stuffing Green Bean Casserole:

1. Mix together the soup, milk, and soy sauce.
2. Stir in the green beans and half of the fried onions.
3. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish.
4. Heat the butter and broth together in a large bowl until the butter is melted.
5. Stir the stuffing mix into the broth mixture. Layer that over the green bean mixture.
6. Top with the remaining fried onions and bake.
7. Remove from oven and serve!

🏆 Tips for Success

• You can stir fresh sliced mushrooms into the green beans mixture before baking.
• Substitute cream of chicken soup for the cream of mushroom.
• Add a couple of tablespoons of sour cream to the green bean mixture for extra creaminess.
• You can use any flavor stuffing you like—cornbread, chicken, sage. Any of these would be wonderful in this.
• You can use your favorite homemade stuffing recipe for the topping as well.  I think sausage stuffing would be great here.
• You can substitute Worcestershire sauce for the soy sauce.
• Add a cup of shredded cheddar cheese stirred into the green beans for a little cheesy flavor.
• Make it vegetarian by using vegetable broth instead of chicken broth (make sure your stuffing mix is also vegetarian).
• A little cooked crumbled bacon added to the green bean mix or on top would be delicious.
• You can store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
