Hi friend!
It’s hard to believe it’s almost Thanksgiving time again! I’m excited to share this Fresh Green Bean Casserole recipe with you guys because it’s the one that actually converted me into a green bean casserole eater!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the vegetable being in the name of my blog, I’m very picky about my green beans \ud83d\ude42 I can’t stand canned green beans and often I actually like eating them better cold than warm. But my husband is a fan of green bean casserole so this year I set out to make a version we both would enjoy and I think I hit the nail on the head with this recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Healthy Green Bean Casserole<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Is this a healthy green bean casserole? I think so! It’s packed with fresh green beans and mushrooms and the cream of mushroom soup is homemade so you can easily control the amount of sodium, unlike in the canned version. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pancetta adds great flavor and there’s just a few breadcrumbs and crispy onions on top to balance everything out! Most importantly it tastes good! And food is meant to be enjoyed \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n

Dairy and Gluten-Free Green Bean Casserole Recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s super easy to make this a dairy and\/or gluten-free green bean casserole recipe. To make the casserole gluten-free just use a gluten-free flour mix in the cream of mushroom sauce. I like King Arthur’s Measure for Measure<\/a>. And use gluten-free panko breadcrumbs<\/a> and french fried onions. You can find them at the store or try making your own with a recipe like these Easy Gluten-free Fried Onions.<\/a> Or skip the fried onions and try crispy shallots instead like this Gluten-Free Green Bean Casserole<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make the recipe dairy-free, use a plant-based milk like almond or soy milk in the cream of mushroom soup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
