Ingredients
Scale
Green Bean Mixture
- 26 oz frozen cut green beans, thawed
- 10.5 oz condensed cheddar soup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup dehydrated minced onion
- 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/3 cup shredded parmesan cheese
Biscuit Topping
- 1 box Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups milk (for biscuit batter)
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- Included seasoning packet from biscuit mix
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F to prepare for baking the casserole.
- Prepare Green Bean Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed green beans, condensed cheddar soup, 1/2 cup milk, dehydrated minced onion, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir thoroughly to blend the flavors.
- Add Cheeses: Add 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese and 1/3 cup shredded parmesan cheese to the green bean mixture and stir well again to evenly distribute the cheeses.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish generously with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Assemble Base Layer: Pour the green bean and cheese mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
- Prepare Biscuit Batter: In a separate mixing bowl, pour the biscuit mix and set aside the included seasoning packet. Add 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 2 cups milk to the biscuit mix. Stir until the batter is smooth with no large lumps remaining.
- Add Biscuit Topping: Pour the biscuit batter evenly over the green bean mixture in the baking dish, covering it completely.
- Bake Casserole: Place the assembled casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 55 minutes until the biscuit topping is nicely browned and cooked through.
- Prepare Butter Glaze: While the casserole is baking, combine the melted butter and the Cheddar Bay seasoning packet in a small bowl.
- Glaze the Casserole: After baking, remove the casserole from the oven and brush the seasoned butter mixture evenly over the baked biscuit topping.
- Rest Before Serving: Allow the casserole to rest for about 5 minutes to let the butter soak in and the casserole to set slightly.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice into portions and serve warm for a comforting, cheesy side dish.
Notes
- Thaw frozen green beans completely before mixing for best texture.
- Adjust the salt and pepper according to your taste preference.
- You can substitute fresh green beans if preferred; blanch beforehand for tenderness.
- Ensure the biscuit topping batter covers the green beans evenly to bake properly.
- Allowing the casserole to rest after baking helps the flavors meld and the topping firm up slightly.
- This casserole pairs wonderfully with roasted meats or can stand alone as a hearty vegetarian dish.
