Can I use canned green beans for this green bean casserole recipe?

Yes, you can use two 14.5 oz cans of green beans. Be sure to drain them thoroughly before adding them to the sauce to prevent the casserole from becoming too thin.

How can I prevent my green bean casserole from being watery?

The best way to prevent a watery casserole is to ensure your beans are well-drained. If using fresh beans, blanch them and pat them dry. Additionally, don't add more milk than the recipe calls for, as the beans will release some moisture during baking.

Can I make this green bean casserole recipe ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can assemble the bean and sauce mixture up to 24 hours in advance. Store it covered in the refrigerator, but do not add the fried onion topping until you are ready to bake, or they will become soggy.

What can I use as a substitute for cream of mushroom soup?

If you don't like mushrooms, you can substitute cream of chicken or cream of celery soup. For a completely homemade version, you can make a thick white bu00e9chamel sauce with sautu00e9ed mushrooms.
