Question 1

HOW DO YOU MAKE GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE NOT WATERY?

Accepted Answer

To ensure that your green bean casserole is not watery, I recommend using fresh or frozen green beans and blanching and draining them well. Canned green beans or unthawed frozen green beans could result in a water green bean casserole.

Question 2

CAN I ADD MUSHROOMS TO THIS CASSEROLE?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! If you want mushrooms in this casserole without adding mushroom soup, then you can sauté some sliced mushrooms with the garlic before making the roux in this recipe. Your best choices would be cremini mushrooms (use 8 ounces).

Question 3

CAN I USE FROZEN OR CANNED GREEN BEANS INSTEAD OF FRESH?

Accepted Answer

Technically, yes! But I recommend using fresh or frozen green beans. While canned green beans would technically work, they will be extremely soft and might result in a slightly watery casserole. See recipe notes or above section for specific details and instructions.
