3 Ingredients For This GF Green Bean Casserole:
Fresh Green Beans
Green beans are the base of this recipe as it is the name of the dish. In this recipe, you will need some fresh, green, and crispy beans to perfect this dish. If you are someone who does not eat green beans, I am telling you, this recipe will change your mind.
Gluten-Free French Fried Onions
Our gluten-free crispy onions are important for this recipe as they add additional crunchiness to the whole dish. I love the idea that I made my own homemade crispy fried onions recipe only for snacks, but I ended up using the rest of it to top my green bean casserole, and IT LEVELED UP!
Mushroom Soup
Mushroom soup will serve as the creamy base of the casserole mixed with the crispy green beans. Some recipes require using gluten-free flours and thickening agents but the good thing about having a homemade cream of mushroom soup is that you do not need to worry about those ingredients.

Kitchen Gadgets:
- Casserole Dish: A simple casserole dish will be used for baking the green bean casserole in the oven. Choose a size that comfortably fits all the ingredients without overflowing.
- Glass Bowl: A large mixing bowl is perfect for combining the cream of mushroom soup, fried onions, and green beans.
- Spoon or Spatula: Use a spoon or spatula to mix the ingredients in the glass bowl thoroughly. It will also help you evenly coat the green beans with the creamy mushroom soup mixture in the casserole dish.
Ingredients:
- Green Beans: Fresh or frozen green beans will work perfectly for this dish. Look for crisp, vibrant green beans in the grocery store. If fresh is not available, frozen green beans are a good substitute. Using canned green beans is the last option.
- Mushroom Soup: Look for a gluten-free cream of mushroom soup or use mushroom sauce. But if you prefer using a homemade cream of mushroom soup, it is perfect.
- Fried Onions: Gluten-free fried onions add a delicious crunch and flavor to the top of the green bean casserole.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I Make The Green Bean Casserole Ahead Of Time and Serve It Later?
Yes. One of the good things about this casserole recipe is that you can make it ahead if you want to have it at tomorrow’s party but do not have time to prepare it on the actual day. You can prepare it as usual but do not bake it yet.
Cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and pop it in the fridge. You can keep it there for up to 24 hours. When you are ready to serve it, take it out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Then, bake it following the recipe, but add a few extra minutes since it has been chilled.
Is It Possible To Make A Green Bean Casserole Without Mushroom Soup?
Yes, it is possible to make a green bean casserole without mushroom soup. But since it needs a creamy sauce, you can create a homemade one using ingredients like heavy cream, milk, and gluten-free mushroom powder to keep the mushroom flavor in the dish.
Is Canned Soup Okay For Making This Recipe?
Yes, canned soup is okay for this recipe since it is a convenient and time-saving option that still gives the same rich flavor as homemade mushroom soup. Make sure to choose a gluten-free one if you want it to be clean and healthy.
What to Serve With This Easy Gluten Free Green Bean Casserole?
This gluten-free casserole pairs well with any main dish and easy-to-make sides. Serve it with roasted meats like turkey, chicken lettuce cups, popcorn chicken, and pork scotch fillet since a vegetable side is always perfect with savory meats.
Traditional green bean casseroles are also perfect when served with fried dill pickles, dumplings or white rice, even protein bread slices.
If you feel extra adventurous, top your baked green bean casserole with more onion and garlic flakes to add flavor. I bet they will be perfect as well with goat cheese salad.
Store them in a sealed container in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days.
When you are ready to enjoy them again, warm up a serving in the microwave or reheat the whole thing in the oven until it is nice and bubbly.
