Notes

How To Cook Green Beans Fast:

Fresh green beans are best in this recipe. Below are 3 of my favorite ways to cook green beans al dente fast!

Blanching On Stove top: drop green beans in a pot of boiling water for 2 minutes. Remove from water and dunk in an ice bath for 2 minutes before removing.
Cooking In Microwave: Place green beans in a microwave safe bowl, add water to bottom and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave on high for 4-5 minutes
Instant Pot: place green beans on trivet and add 1 cup of water to the bottom of the instant pot. Cook on low pressure for 0 minutes (yes, zero!) and do a quick release.

Can I Use Canned Green Beans?

Canned green beans can be used in this recipe although not ideal since they are already mushy in texture. To replace fresh green beans with canned green beans, use 2 14.5 oz cans of canned green beans drained.

Can I Make My Green Bean Casserole Ahead Of Time?

Absolutely! Simply skip the baking step and cover your casserole with plastic wrap tightly. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days until it’s ready to be baked.
