👍 Amira's Tips

• If you are using fresh green beans instead of frozen, you will want to steam them slightly longer. Steam or boil fresh green beans for about 8 minutes before adding to the casserole.
• Make sure that you drain the green beans well otherwise you may have a watery sauce to your casserole.
• I've found that using a glass or ceramic casserole dish works best for this recipe.
• You can easily swap out the canned mushrooms for cooked fresh mushrooms instead.

🧺 Storage

This green bean casserole can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Make sure that you store it in an airtight container or wrap it with plastic wrap.
