Useful tips for Green Bean Casserole

If you don’t plan to serve immediately, skip putting the fried onions on top (for now). Cook for just 20 minutes, let cool, cover, and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, reheat at 450 F for 15 minutes, adding the onions in the last 5 minutes of baking. You can also leave completely uncooked, cover and refrigerate and then follow the baking instructions below.

If using fresh beans, cut them up into 1 inch pieces. You want them bite-sized. Also fresh beans will give you a bit of crunch. A little less "gloppy" than the traditional dish. But trust us, it's good like that!
