Green Bean & Corn Casserole Recipe

Easy to make Green Bean Casserole with corn - no canned products. Fresh green beans and mushrooms in a creamy and cheesy sauce. Perfect Thanksgiving side.

We are only a few days away from Thanksgiving and this will be my last dish for this year's Thanksgiving recipes. This dish is a variation to the traditional Green bean casserole with corn which is usually made using cream of mushroom soup and has a crispy fried onion topping.

Updated Green Bean Casserole with Corn:

In this modified version, mushrooms and onions are cooked down and then a bechamel like sauce is made right in the pan -- then topped with crispy breadcrumb topping and baked off until hot and bubbly.

Crispy Topping:

I loved the addition of corn and the crispy breadcrumb topping the most in this recipe. It is creamy and cheesy but not overly so. Give it a try if you are looking for a different green bean casserole recipe.
