Green Bean Casserole From Scratch

Let me preface this post by saying I am NOT one of those high falootin make your own everything bloggers. I am not opposed to cake mixes, canned soup, or even premade pie crust.

However, there are some things that just taste better when homemade. This Green Bean casserole from scratch is one of those things. This casserole tastes good with cream soup and canned onions. But this side dish is downright incredible when made 100% from scratch!

Give it a try for your Thanksgiving this year. Best of all this green bean casserole from scratch can be made ahead! Just follow steps 5-11 to prep the green beans and mushroom sauce. Then make/top with the onions right before serving! Effortless, holiday comfort food!
