Ingredients
Green Bean Casserole
- 26 oz frozen cut green beans, thawed
- 10.5 oz condensed cheddar soup
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup dehydrated minced onion
- 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ⅓ cup shredded parmesan cheese
Topping
- 1 box Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups milk
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- Cheddar Bay seasoning packet (from biscuit mix box)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
- Mix Green Bean Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed green beans, condensed cheddar soup, ½ cup milk, dehydrated minced onion, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Add Cheeses: Add the shredded cheddar cheese and shredded parmesan cheese to the green bean mixture. Stir thoroughly to blend the cheeses evenly throughout the mixture.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish generously with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Transfer Mixture: Pour the prepared green bean mixture into the baking dish, spreading it out evenly to create a uniform layer.
- Prepare Biscuit Topping Batter: In a separate mixing bowl, pour the biscuit mix from the box and set aside the included Cheddar Bay seasoning packet. Add 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 2 cups milk to the biscuit mix. Stir until no large lumps remain, creating a smooth batter.
- Top the Casserole: Evenly pour the biscuit batter over the green bean mixture in the baking dish, creating a thick biscuit topping layer.
- Bake the Casserole: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is nicely browned and cooked through.
- Prepare Butter Topping: While the casserole bakes, combine the ¼ cup melted butter with the reserved Cheddar Bay seasoning packet in a small bowl.
- Brush Butter Mixture: When the casserole is done baking, carefully remove it from the oven and brush the melted butter and seasoning mixture evenly over the biscuit topping.
- Rest and Serve: Allow the casserole to rest for about 5 minutes to let the butter soak in and flavors meld. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Cheddar Bay Green Bean Casserole!
Notes
- Ensure green beans are fully thawed before mixing for best texture.
- Use cooking spray liberally to prevent biscuit topping from sticking to the baking dish.
- Brush the butter mixture immediately after baking to keep the biscuit topping moist and flavorful.
- Resting the casserole allows the biscuit topping to absorb the butter seasoning and enhances the overall taste.
- This casserole can be prepared a few hours ahead and refrigerated, then baked just before serving.
