My Easy Gluten Free Green Bean Casserole is the absolute best. It tastes just like the classic, and you would have no idea it’s gluten free unless someone told you it was. Plus, this recipe is mostly home-made except for the fried onions. A delicious and easy home-made mushroom sauce makes this amazingly tasty.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Pound Fresh Green Beans
  • 1 Cup Low Sodium Chicken Stock
  • 4 Tbsp Cornstarch
  • 2– 8 Ounce Containers of Baby Bella Mushrooms
  • 2 Tsp Garlic
  • 4 Tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 1 1/4 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream or Heavy Cream
  • 4 Sprigs of Fresh Thyme
  • 1– 6 Ounce Container of Gluten Free Onion Strings
  • Salt and Pepper to Taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Take 4 cups of water to a large pot and bring to a boil.
  • Take the green beans and remove the ends and either leave whole or cut in half. The choice is totally yours. I’ve made it both ways. It’s just a matter of preference.
  • Once the water is boiling, salt well, and add the green beans and let it boil for about 4-5 minutes. Remove from the heat, and put into an ice bath to stop the cooking process. You still want the green beans to have crunch and be slightly soft but not soggy. After all, they are going to finish cooking in the oven.
  • Set the green beans aside in a bowl.
  • To make the home made mushroom sauce, slice the two packages of Bella mushrooms and set aside.
  • Using a cast iron skillet or a non stick pan, add 4 tablespoons of butter and let it heat up on medium heat. Add the mushrooms and season well with salt. Stir often for about 10 minutes or until the mushrooms are nice and soft.
  • Add 1 cup of the low sodium chicken stock and add 4 tablespoons of cornstarch to the stock and whisk to fully combine. Add this to the mushroom mixture on the stove. Stir.
  • Add the fresh thyme.
  • Turn your burner to medium low heat and add the 1 1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream to the mushrooms. Keep stirring frequently until it has thickened. Stirring frequently helps avoid lumps.
  • Once the mixture is nice and thick turn the stove burner off.
  • Take the mushroom soup and add it to the green beans. Toss well to coat. Add half the container of the gluten free fried onions.
  • Using an oven safe dish, make sure you use non stick cooking spray so the green beans do not stick.
  • Add the green beans to the oven safe dish. Add the remaining fried onions to the top of the casserole. Cover with foil.
  • Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 20-30 minutes. You want the green beans to have a slight crunch but be soft and edible. For the last 3-5 minutes remove the foil so the fried onions can brown slightly. Make sure to watch them closely so they don’t brown too much.
