Keto Green Bean Casserole is a recipe I have wanted to post for a long time. Some of you know by now that some of my recipes are not for the faint of heart but this is so very easy. When we think of green bean casserole the natural inclination is to see the Thanksgiving feast in front of us but this is a dish to eat year round. The “mushroom soup” is from scratch and believe me there is a big difference. This is the list of ingredients in Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom Soup and, at least to me, it reads like a horror movie: WATER, MUSHROOMS, VEGETABLE OIL (CORN, COTTONSEED, CANOLA, AND/OR SOYBEAN), MODIFIED FOOD STARCH, WHEAT FLOUR, CONTAINS LESS THAN 2% OF: SALT, MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE, SOY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE, DEHYDRATED CREAM (CREAM [MILK], SOY LECITHIN), YEAST EXTRACT, FLAVORING, DEHYDRATED GARLIC. No wonder mushroom soup doesn’t taste like it did in the 50’s & 60’s.
So here ya go and this keto green bean casserole is a dish you can be proud to serve your family on Thanksgiving Day or…any day of the year for that matter.
