7 Green Bean Casserole No Onions Ideas With Parmesan Crust, Creamy Sauce and Fresh Green Beans

I often find myself searching for new takes on classic dishes, and green bean casserole is no exception. While most recipes include onions, I’ve discovered seven flavorful variations that skip them entirely. Each option features a crispy parmesan crust paired with a creamy sauce, showcasing the fresh taste of green beans. If you’re curious about these unique combinations that elevate a traditional favorite, you might want to stick around for the details that follow.

Creamy Parmesan and Garlic Green Bean Casserole

Creamy Parmesan and Garlic Green Bean Casserole is a delightful twist on the classic green bean casserole. This version elevates the traditional dish with the addition of rich parmesan cheese and aromatic garlic, creating a creamy, savory side that is perfect for holiday gatherings or everyday meals. The casserole is topped with crunchy breadcrumbs, adding a satisfying texture that complements the tender green beans.

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature while you prepare the casserole.
2. Prepare the Green Beans: Rinse the fresh green beans under cold water. Trim the ends and cut them into 1-2 inch pieces for even cooking.
3. Blanch the Green Beans: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for about 5 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender but still crisp. Drain the beans and immediately plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain them again and set aside.
4. Make the Creamy Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well blended.
5. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched green beans with the creamy mixture. Mix until all the green beans are well coated.
6. Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch (or similarly sized) baking dish with olive oil. Pour the green bean mixture into the dish and spread it out evenly.
7. Add the Topping: In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the remaining olive oil until the breadcrumbs are coated. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the green bean casserole. If desired, add French-fried onions on top for extra crunch and flavor.
8. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.
9. Serve: Once done, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the creamy, garlicky flavors that make this dish a memorable addition to any meal!
