Low Carb Green Bean Casserole
The perfect cheesy green bean casserole with cream cheese sauce for the holidays. Skip the canned mushroom soup and make our easy homemade recipe everyone will love. Low carb, gluten-free, and keto friendly.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1 cup chopped crimini mushrooms
- 32 oz green beans trimmed (haricots verts if you can find them)
- ¼ cup butter
- ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
- ½. cup chicken broth
- 3 teaspoon minced garlic
- 4 oz cream cheese softened and cubed
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
- ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ + cup shredded cheddar cheese
- French's fried onions optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 F.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Saute the onion and chopped mushrooms until they're soft (but not browned). Add the green beans and continue cooking until they are crisp-tender.
- While you're cooking the vegetables, start on the cheese sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the garlic and cook it for 1 minute.
- Stir in the cream cheese cubes, heavy whipping cream, chicken broth, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Heat the cheese sauce to a simmer and stir it until smooth.
- Pour the cream cheese sauce over the green beans. Gently mix until the green beans are coated. Transfer the green beans to a 9x9 baking dish.
- Sprinkle with the shredded cheddar cheese and bake the green bean casserole for 30 minutes in the oven.
- If you're adding fried onions on top, add them in the last 5 minutes of baking. Enjoy!
Notes
The casserole can be prepped a day ahead of time and baked the day it's needed. It will take longer to cook in the oven since it's being baked from cold.
This is an easy recipe to double and then use a 9x13 pan instead of a 9x9.
We love a sprinkle of store-bought fried onions on the side, if you're eating low carb or can't have gluten and want to skip the fried onions garnish, you can serve them in a little dish next to the casserole for guests.
