Loaded Green Bean Casserole

Loaded Green Bean Casserole is a classic holiday favorite with a little extra yum. Make this once and you’ll never go back to the original!

Green bean casserole is one of those dishes you just expect to see on a holiday dinner table. Especially at Thanksgiving. I was never a huge fan of it until recently. Instead of the traditional version, typically made with canned green beans, cream of mushroom soup, and fried onion strips, this Loaded Green Bean Casserole is made using fresh green beans, cream of chicken soup (I don’t like mushrooms, so that’s a big nope for me), tons of cheese, and bacon. It’s creamy, cheesy, and a little crunchy. If you aren’t a big fan of the classic version, this one will definitely win you over!

How to make Loaded Green Bean Casserole

Full Printable Recipe Below!

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 13×9 casserole dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  2. In a large pot of boiling water, add green beans and cook for 3 minutes, until bright green. Drain, then place in an ice bath to cool. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside.
  3. Meanwhile, in a saucepan set over medium heat, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, milk, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then whisk in 1 cup of the cheese until completely incorporated. Pour over the green beans and toss to coat, then transfer to a casserole dish.
  4. Top with remaining cheese, then bake for 20 minutes, until warmed through and bubbling around the edges.
  5. Top the casserole with fried onions and the crumbled bacon and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
