The Green Bean and Potato Casserole is a classic comfort food dish that combines tender green beans, creamy potatoes, and a rich, cheesy sauce baked to perfection. With its golden crust and layers of hearty, savory ingredients, this casserole is a favorite for holidays, potlucks, and weeknight dinners. Whether served as a side dish or a main course, its creamy texture and balanced flavors make it a standout addition to any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

2 (15-ounce) cans diced potatoes, drained
2 (14-ounce) cans green beans, drained
1 pound shredded Colby cheese
1 (10.5-ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a small casserole dish with cooking spray or a little butter.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In the casserole dish, mix together the diced potatoes, green beans, shredded Colby cheese, and condensed cream of chicken soup until well combined and evenly coated.
  3. Bake Covered: Cover the casserole with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

  5. Serve: Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Ingredient Substitutions:
    • Use fresh green beans for a crisp texture, or opt for canned/frozen green beans for convenience.
    • Swap cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom or celery soup for a vegetarian option.
    • Substitute plant-based milk and cheese for a vegan-friendly version.
  • Cooking Tips:
    • Parboil potatoes to ensure even cooking and avoid undercooked slices in the final dish.
    • Taste the creamy sauce before assembling the casserole to adjust seasoning as needed.
    • Use freshly shredded cheese for better melting and flavor compared to pre-shredded varieties.
  • Customizations:
    • Add sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions, or crumbled bacon for extra flavor.
    • Sprinkle breadcrumbs, fried onions, or crushed crackers on top for a crunchy finish.
  • Storage and Reheating:
    • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
    • Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through, or microwave individual portions.
  • Freezing:
    • Assemble and freeze the unbaked casserole for up to 3 months. Add the topping and bake after thawing overnight in the refrigerator.
