It seems like almost every family has their own recipe for green bean casserole. Why wouldn’t they? It’s easy, delicious, affordable, and easily customizable for each family’s preferences! My favorite time of year to have green bean casserole is at Thanksgiving because it can be prepped a day ahead of time, making it that much easier to get Thanksgiving dinner on the table the day of. This is our recipe, with a little kick from the crushed red peppers and crispy jalapenos, packed with mushrooms and onions ensuring your casserole can stand up to heavier flavors like gravy and cranberry sauce.

Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ¾ cup onions thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ cup shallots minced
- 1 tsp crushed red pepper
- 2 cups mushrooms sliced
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- 2 cans french style green beans 14.5 oz cans, drained
- 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup 10.5 oz can
- 4 dashes Tabasco
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese shredded
- 1 cup crispy fried jalapeno and onions mix
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly grease an 8" x 8" baking dish.
- In a frying pan large enough to hold all the ingredients, heat oil on medium high heat. Add onions, garlic, shallots, and crushed red pepper. Saute for 5 minutes, until onions start to sweat. Add mushrooms, salt, and pepper and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Remove pan from heat and add green beans, mushroom soup, and Tabasco and mix well. Pour into baking dish and smooth it out to an even layer. Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the top, then add crispy jalapeno/onions evenly over the top.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, until top is lightly browned and the casserole is bubbling. Let cool for 2-3 minutes prior to serving. Top with a little additional parmesan cheese if desired and enjoy!
