Ingredients for Green Bean Casserole

This recipe has some fresh ingredients that take this casserole to the next level! See the recipe card below for a list of exact ingredient measurements.

• Butter: I used unsalted butter so that I didn’t add any extra salt in the recipe!
• Garlic cloves:If you don’t have any fresh garlic cloves on hand then you can use the minced garlic that’s in your fridge! 1/2 tsp equals about 1 clove of garlic.
• Onion: Make sure that this isfinely diced.
• Button mushrooms: These are optional! If you don’t like mushrooms then you can just take these out.
• Fresh green beans: Cut off the ends and then cute each green bean in half.
• Chicken broth: I use chicken broth because then it gives a slight added flavor.
• Cream of mushroom soup: I try and use a can of low sodium cream of mushroom soup for this recipe.
• Parmesan cheese: You can finely grate this to add to the recipe!
• Salt: This is used to enhance all of the delicious flavors!
• Black pepper: This won’t give any heat but the perfect amount of flavor.
• Crispy onion strings: These give that perfect added crunch.
