There are dozens of ways to create a green bean casserole. One can be created from fresh cut or frozen green beans. They can be a meal themselves, or a side dish to a festive occasion. Favorite vegetables to add to green bean casseroles include: corn, carrots, mushrooms, and potatoes. Potato flakes add a luscious layer of whiteness and flavor to the finished dish. Typically diced ham is the primary meat added, though occasionally, bacon bits can be a delicious alternative. Depending on the depth of the pan, a green bean casserole may take 1.5 hours to cook.
