Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes! Once the cooked casserole has cooled, you can store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to reheat. Then preheat the oven to 350° F, cover casserole with foil to keep toppings from burning and heat for about 20 minutes.

Is there a gluten-free option?

You can make this recipe gluten-free by using gluten-free flour and gluten-free fried onions.

Tips

  • If you don't have a steamer basket/pot for the green beans, you can add water to a large pot and boil.
  • When using frozen green beans change the cook time in step one to 5 minutes.
