As an Allrecipes editor, I\u2019ve learned that \u201cbest\u201d is a bold claim. Hundreds of users tag their recipes that way each year\u2014and while most are absolutely delicious, only a few truly earn the title. One such recipe? Best Green Bean Casserole. The holiday side dish, which is beloved by more than 1,000 rave reviewers, is shockingly easy to make with just four (count \u2018em, four!) budget-friendly ingredients. The formula is so simple, it feels like magic.\u00a0\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Magic Ingredients <\/span> <\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Green beans<\/strong>: You can use whatever canned variety you like, but most reviewers opt for French-style green beans. Since they\u2019re sliced lengthwise, they cook quickly for a more tender texture.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n
  • Canned soup<\/strong>: This store-bought staple is the glue that holds this green bean casserole together with a simple stir.\u00a0A cheap can of condensed cream of mushroom soup creates a creamy texture and adds savory flavor. Of course, it\u2019s easy enough to substitute cream of chicken or cream of celery soup depending on your flavor preferences.\u00a0<\/li>\n
  • Cheese<\/strong>: This recipe calls for shredded Cheddar cheese (sharp, mild, or a blend of both is fine), but you can easily spice things up by mixing in Pepper Jack. For the most even melt, opt for freshly grated block cheese instead of the pre-grated stuff.\u00a0<\/li>\n
  • French-fried onions<\/strong>: The green bean casserole gets its crunch from a French-fried onion topping. If you don\u2019t like or don\u2019t have packaged French-fried onions at your disposal, store-bought or homemade breadcrumbs make an excellent substitute.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      • \u201cAWESOME! Truly the best green bean casserole ever. Followed the recipe exactly save for sprinkling on the second 1\/2 c of cheese and THEN onions (so they’d stay crispy). Everyone went back for seconds. We’re making this again for Christmas, if not sooner!\u201d \u2014Lyss Elle<\/li>\n
