How long do you cook green bean casserole?

How to cook southern style green beans from a can?

Drain canned beans well, mix with the creamy sauce, and bake as usual. They’ll be softer than fresh but still tasty.

How do you keep green bean casserole from getting soggy?

Drain beans thoroughly and add onions only before baking. This keeps the topping crispy.

Why didn’t my green bean casserole thicken?

Too much liquid can thin the sauce. Make sure beans are drained and stick to the recommended milk amounts.
