Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 2 (12 oz) bags frozen cut green beans
Sauces and Cheese
- 1 (15 oz) jar roasted garlic Alfredo sauce
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Toppings
- 1–1½ cups crispy fried onions (like French’s)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the dish evenly.
- Prepare Green Beans: Microwave the frozen green beans or steam them until they are just tender, then drain thoroughly to prevent excess moisture in the bake.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked green beans with the roasted garlic Alfredo sauce and grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until everything is evenly coated.
- Assemble in Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish and spread the green bean mixture evenly inside to prepare for baking.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to bubble.
- Add Crispy Onions: Remove the dish from the oven, sprinkle the crispy fried onions evenly over the top, then return it to the oven and bake for an additional 5–7 minutes until the onions are golden and crispy.
- Serve: Let the bake cool slightly before serving to ensure it’s warm and perfectly set for a delicious side dish.
Notes
- You can steam the green beans on the stovetop if preferred instead of microwaving.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for best flavor but pre-grated works well too.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute crispy onions with gluten-free fried onion alternatives or toasted breadcrumbs.
- Make sure to drain green beans thoroughly to avoid a watery casserole.
- This dish can be prepared in advance and baked just before serving for convenience.
