Southern Keto Green Bean Casserole
Ingredients
- 1 (50 oz) can cut green beans, well drained
- (or substitute 4 standard 14.5 oz cans — also drained)
- Use regular cut, not French-style — they hold up better and don’t get mushy.
- 1½ cups Victor’s Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 Cup extra sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tsp coconut aminos
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp seasoned salt
- 1 cup Crispy Keto Fried Onions
- 1 Tbsp meltedbutter
Instructions
- Preheat oven: 350°F.
- Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with avocado oil
- Drain canned green beans thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels to prevent excess liquid.
- In a large yellow bowl, combine green beans, condensed soup, heavy cream, liquid aminos, black pepper, and seasoned salt. Stir until everything is evenly coated. Leave our cream for thicker texture.
- Spread mixture into the casserole dish and top evenly with shredded cheddar.
- Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, until bubbly and slightly golden around the edges.
- Sprinkle your Crispy Keto Fried Onions evenly on top.
- Drizzle lightly with melted butter
- Return to oven for 5–8 minutes, just until the topping is deep golden and crisp. (Watch carefully — keto coatings brown fast.)
- Let rest 5–10 minutes before serving so it thickens and sets up beautifully.
- For even richer flavor, stir in ¼ cup sautéed mushrooms or a few slices of crisp bacon before baking.
- If you’re making it ahead, bake without the onions, refrigerate, then reheat and add the crispy topping fresh at the end.
- Leftovers reheat perfectly in the oven at 350°F for 10–12 minutes — still crunchy!
