This Fresh Green Bean Casserole is an updated take on the Green Bean Casserole of my youth, one slathered in Cream of Mushroom Soup, and canned green beans.
We can do better! This version takes fresh green beans and covers them with a homemade creamy mushroom sauce (with three types of mushrooms!) and gets topped with the classic crispy fried onions.
It's a Thanksgiving side dish recipe that can be made in advance the day before and all you have to do is top with the onions and bake while your turkey rests!

FRESH GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE RECIPE
Serves 6-8
Print Recipe Here entertainingwithbeth.com/fres...
INGREDIENTS:
2 lbs (907 g) green bean, washed and trimmed
½ teaspoon (3 g) kosher salt
3 Tbsp (42 g) butter
¾ cup (85 g) shallots, cut into half moons
4 ounces (113g) shiitake mushrooms, sliced thinly
4 ounces (115g) cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 large (85 g) portobello mushroom, sliced and cut in half lengthwise
Salt and pepper to taste
2 Tbsp (30 ml) fresh thyme, chopped
1 Tablespoon (15 ml) Worcestershire Sauce
For the Bechamel Sauce:
4 Tbsp (56 g) butter
¼ cup (34 g) all-purpose flour
4 cups (946 ml) milk
3 garlic cloves, minced
¾ tsp (5 g) salt
Freshly cracked Pepper
¼ cup (17 g) parmesan cheese, freshly grated
Topping:
6 ounces (170 g) French’s fried onions
Method:
Set a large pot to boil. Add salt. Drop the green beans into boiling water for 5-6 minutes. They should be tender but still a bit crisp. Transfer them into a large bowl of icy water. Stir the beans in the ice bath until the beans have cooled. Then drain through a colander, removing any ice cubes that remain.
Transfer the beans to a 9 x 13 casserole, and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel and set aside.
Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high flame. Melt the butter. Once it's foamy add the shallots. Cook until fragrant and wilted. Then add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their juices. Season with salt and pepper. Add the Worcestershire sauce and the thyme. Transfer the mushroom mixture to the casserole, and spoon them on top of the beans, to cover them.
For the bechamel sauce, add the butter to a large, deep skillet, over medium-high heat. Once melted and foamy, add the flour, and whisk until a loose paste forms. Then slowly whisk in the milk. Allow to come to a low boil, which will take 3-5 minutes. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer until thickened. Then add the salt, pepper and the garlic. Then add the parmesan cheese. Stir until melted and smooth.
Pour the sauce over the beans and mushroom mixture, making sure all areas are covered. Up until this point, the casserole can be made ahead. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Preheat the oven to 350F (180C). Top the casserole with the crispy onions and bake at 350F (180C) for 25 minutes covered, then bake uncovered for 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

Thank you for this “fresh” version! I know Americans usually use the canned cream of mushroom soup which I can’t get in Estonia. Can finally try the infamous green beans I’ve seen in movies. 😂
Ha! Yes and trust me the fresh is so much better! Ha! :) Hope you enjoy!
As I was about to hop to another video, I noticed your comment (I clicked on this video by accident). The mushroom soup is one reason I pass on this dish. After watching (twice), I am inspired to make this 😀
Yum. My daughter vegetarian. We love mushrooms the more the better. 😊 Thanks for this recipe. Trying it tonight.
Thank you, Beth. The green bean casserole looks like it is going to be absolutely delicious. I will definitely be preparing this casserole for my guests. You are the gold standard of cooks on RUclips.
I always check out your previous recipes when I looking to make something delicious.
Your high quality care is very inspiring to me.
Thank you.😊

Aww thanks Lu! That's so sweet of you to say :) I'm so glad you enjoy the channel. A lot of love and care goes in to it for sure! :)
Ah Beth, you are consistently presenting us with winners with every post!! I so enjoy green beans and this more “enriched” version of the classic is most appreciated! Heading out to the grocery now so will gather what I need! BTW have been revisiting various posts/ videos for other meal ideas- your presentation is empowering and encouraging!
Awww thanks!! Im so glad you enjoy them! Always a joy the share! 💕
Looking forward to all your Thanksgiving great recipes. Merci Beth
WELL DONE. The blanching, cold bath, etc. makes a big difference. Nothing worse than over-cooked mushy green beans. The sauce is perfection. I don't know why people use the yucky canned soup. The camera work in your videos is always superb.
Aww thanks that means a lot to me, since I'm still doing it myself LOL! But I now have an editor who is editing the videos for me and it's been SO nice!! He makes it all look even better! :)
I made your recipe for Thanksgiving. I couldn't get shitake or cremini mushrooms at my local stores. I used sliced baby bellas (8 oz.) I fried the shallots and mushrooms separate using 1.5 T butter with each. The Worcestershire Sauce in the mushrooms was genius. I know that you talked about vegetable broth in your video but I didn't see it anywhere in the recipe. I made the béchamel sauce but my sauce broke. I'm not sure why, but I used the sauce anyway. I figured the French fried onions would cover the broken sauce. I loved this recipe. I would make it again without the packaged French fried onions. Anything fried since a recent hospital stay really turns my stomach. Since it already has the wonderful shallots, next time I would try a topping of panko crumbs. The freshness of the vegetables were what made this dish a winner for me.
This will be great for the holidays!
Yum! Have moved away from all canned soups, so I look forward to trying what looks to be an excellent, fresh version of this classic dish. Thanks so much Beth!
You are so welcome! I hope you enjoy it! Super yummy!! :)
Happy Halloween, Beth. Any outfit you were is just absolutely beautiful, and you speak so sweetly.
Thanks for this beautiful side! I always make my own with fresh beans, mushrooms, sauce, but mine does have the chicken broth! I'm going to switch and make yours this year, instead.
I smiled when you got to the point where you added the mushrooms/shallots over the green beans and said you thought it looked good as it was. That's my favorite side dish (just a little bit lighter on the mushrooms)! I just put some butter in a ramekin, add sliced almonds and microwave until the butter and almonds lightly brown, then pour them over the top. Fast for a weeknight dinner.
I'm really looking forward to the rest of your Thanksgiving recipes! ❤
And your blouse is exquisite with the stitching. So pretty on you!
Woo hoo Thanksgiving recipes. I can't wait for more!!!!
More to come! Stay tuned!
YUMMY!!!!
Love this especially the make ahead part!
Ha! Yes that's the best part! :)
I smile when I hear you use the word dilly dally because I use it often. My husband is very slow in doing things and I always tell him to not dilly dally around. LOL.
Lol! Its a handy little phrase when you need to pick up the pace! Ha! 🤣💕
Thank you for your recipe of this nice Thanksgiving side dish. I'm going to make it today and as I don't have fresh mushrooms I just use dried ones. And I have to make the onions myself as the shops here are all closed on sunday. Greetings from Vienna, Austria/Europe!
I so agree with you keeping the sides vegetarian! I was a vegetarian for 10+ years and everyone always asked what I ate for thanksgiving - I ate everything besides the Turkey because my mom did the same & all the side were veggie :) Plus it was so delicious!
Beth it looks gorgeous, but I always put in a touch of nutmeg. It’s classic.❤
Oh sure that would be great too!
Beth your green bean recipe WINS! Delicious. Merry Christmas to you and your family 🌲❤
Aww so glad you enjoyed it! Merry Christmas to you too! :)
NKed it!!!I am making it thank you Beth🎉🎉🎉
Excellent, thanks❣️
Looks yummy!
Oooo! My favorite side. Thanks so much Beth for showing me how to "up" it to the next level. Mmm, can't wait.
You are so welcome! Yes this kicks the classic up a notch! 🤣👌💕 hope you enjoy!
Looks yummy Beth!
Yummy!!!
The crispy onions are a must have..especially on thanksgiving. This looks incredible!
They are! ha!
Hey 👋🏽 Beth ... I have been watching you for many years now and I just simply love your videos. It's so calming to me, to watch you cook.😊
Aww thanks for all the support over the years! So glad you enjoy the videos!! 💕💕💕
@@EntertainingWithBeth 😘👍🏽
Oh yum,this looks so delicious! And I love the addition of the crispy onions on top!
They are the best part ha! So good!!
I will use this recipe because I love your approach to not wanting the mushrooms to take over, but you do want them to be present. I am all for that. And the 3 types used. Good idea, too, to leave the edges showing that it's a green bean casserole.
Yes, exactly! So glad you enjoyed it!!
What a refreshing recipe for a Thanksgiving classic. Merci!
You are so welcome! Hope you enjoy it!
Loved that you kept it vegetarian! Can't wait to try this!😀
Good Morning Beth, the green bean casserole was my dish to bring, always the can, than one year i decided to try making it fresh can i say totally different and delicious, i did do one thing can the fried onions, so no more cans
Ha! So much better fresh isn’t it?! 👌
Mmmm Yum! ❤
New subscriber!! Delicious recipes❤
Perfect timing Beth! I'll do this later :)
Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure! 👌
First off, thanks you for such a wonderful dish. My family doesn’t do green bean casserole and I’ve craved it for years, but something extra this year. 🤭 This recipe makes me so stoked. I planned to make this dish right after I watched your video. A day later, after buying everything the night before Thanksgiving, I am prepping and cooking right now. I’m so excited as this is the first time I’ve made something for my family’s thanksgiving EVER! And especially since being out my parents’ house. I think last year we bought stuff. I’m excited to bring something yummy over. Thanks again! 😁
Love this dish!!! It would not be Thanksgiving without it! Also love you did it from scratch!❤️👏🏻
Oh, wait to try it. It’s so much better from scratch!!
Thank you for sharing this recipe!! I love green bean casserole at Thanksgiving but I’m never thrilled using canned beans and soup 😂 this looks delicious and will be on my table this year!!
I know what you mean, it was never appetizing to me that way either! This is SO much better! Hope you enjoy!!
I can tell that is pretty tasty. I might actually try making your version this year. My family might rebel though.
this looks utterly pleasant. I am also returning to your pumpkin bread recipe for the first time this season... It is just so good.
Ha! Oh it is! I love that recipe too! So glad it has been a hit! :)
Yum! Do you know I have always seen this classic dish for thanksgiving but didn’t really want to make it because of the canned soup etc. but this… is all fresh ingredients so this year I’m going to have it on our table! Thanks Beth! Love that you can make it ahead of time. Always simple and always delicious!
Yes simple and make ahead is my TDAY MOTTO! Hope you enjoy it! 💕
❤❤❤
Definitely trying this version for Thanksgiving. I've used Martha Stewart's green bean casserole for years.
Hope you enjoy! I go a little over board on the mushrooms, but they are just so good in it! Ha!
Can I use storebought mushroom soup as a cream sauce?
This looks so good!! I do have a question. Would it be terrible if I prepped this ( up to the topping) and freeze it until Thanksgiving? Would the freezer ruin it?
Great question you could freeze the mushroom sauce and then defrost in fridge over night then reheat and then cook the green beans fresh and proceed as shown :) I’d be afraid that freezing the green beans would make them too mushy :( hope that helps!
Thanks for the reply! Yes, that does help! I think I’ll do it your way! Looks delicious!! Love your videos!
@candicehigdon6642 aww thx! So glad you enjoy them!
Hi Beth any ideas on a substitute for the crispy onions? I can’t fine that brand in Australia 🇦🇺
Ah bummer! OK you could top with bread crumbs, but use the bread crumb recipe from my mac and cheese recipe, they are homemade and would be great on this. Here's that recipe! Enjoy!entertainingwithbeth.com/baked-mac-and-cheese-recipe/
This looks so good! Can you believe it’s not a classic in our family’s Thanksgiving meal?! Maybe I’ll introduce it this year.
Only problem is, some of us are allergic to mushrooms, can you believe it? ☹️ anything I could use as a substitute?
Oh no!! You could use just the shallots instead but increase the quantity to 1 1/2 cups hope you enjoy!
This looks delicious! Thank you for trying to keep your side dishes vegetarian. Just an FYI: Worcestershire sauce is made with anchovies, so using it means the dish isn't strictly vegetarian anymore. You can buy vegan Worcestershire at stores like Whole Foods, or you could sub soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, or a combination of soy sauce and vinegar instead.
Thats right!! I totally forgot about that! Thanks for reminding me!! 🤦♀️
Where would I be without you, Beth!? Your videos are the thanksgiving/entertaining bible to me. I’ve never made green bean casserole before but your video gives me the confidence to know I can! Thank you for all the tips.
Awww so happy to hear that!!😘💕
Simple recipe. Another idea is that
In the time your turkey rests you can cook the beans top them with a little olive oil or butter, chopped garlic and parsley. Much lighter dish and Thanksgiving is such a heavy meal. Another sauce to cover vegetables is unnecessary.
Do you think that can be made ahead & frozen & cooked on Thanksgiving day?
Unfortunately, I don’t think these would freeze well due to the green beans. They might get all soggy when you reheat them. But you could definitely make them the day ahead.
With that fancy house you don't have an ice maker
Ha! No im pretty lo tech
It looks delicious.I wish you had a recipe i could follow .😋
Here is the recipe you can print it out :) entertainingwithbeth.com/fresh-green-bean-casserole/
Vegetarians can bring their own dish they shouldn't expect to be catered to
