There is something special about a classic green bean casserole. This is exactly how we made it for every Thanksgiving of my childhood and it is still a hit today. It is hard to beat the classic!
Did you grow up with with green bean casserole like I did? I know it is in vogue to try to make it without cream of mushroom soup, or to add strange things.
However, when it comes to holiday menus, especially the Thanksgiving menu, there is something to be said about sticking with the tried and true. This is how my family has been making green bean casserole for my whole life, and we aren’t about to change now!
I am not opposed to making other versions or even other green bean recipes. However, there would be a mutiny if this recipe wasn’t an offering at a big holiday meal.
As a kid, making the green bean casserole was usually one of my jobs. I loved helping to make special meals.

This is the recipe I used, but we usually at least doubled it and made it in a 9×13-inch pan. If a lot of family was in town, we might make two double batches to make sure everyone has a chance at some.
Now, my sister is usually the green bean casserole committee. I am usually making pumpkin pie, homemade rolls, and/or pecan pie.
When I realized I hadn’t shared the recipe with you, I knew I had to fix that immediately. So, we made some smoked turkey breast on the pellet grill and whipped up some mashed potatoes and had a mini Thanksgiving in September.
