How do you fix a runny green bean casserole?

Let it cook for a few minutes longer and rest for 5 minutes before serving.

How long does cooked green bean casserole last?

Any leftovers will last up to 5 days covered in the fridge.

Can green bean casserole be left out overnight?

No, it should be stored in the fridge as it has dairy products that need refrigerating.

How do you reheat a refrigerated casserole?

If it’s still in a baking dish, pop it in the oven at 350°F for 15-20 minutes uncovered. Alternatively, you can scoop portions onto a microwave-safe plate and microwave at 20-second intervals until warm.

Do I need to cover my casserole in the oven or can I leave it?

For this recipe, it is baked uncovered for the entire duration of baking. However, if you have a smaller oven and are worried about the cracker topping burning, you can bake the casserole covered and remove the cover for the last 15 minutes.

Instructions

Bake the bacon: Preheat the oven to 400°F, line a baking sheet with tin foil and lightly spray it with oil. Spread out the bacon, and bake for 10-15 minutes, until crispy. Once slightly cooled, chop into small bacon bit pieces and set them aside. Reduce the heat to 375°F.
Green bean filling: In a large bowl, mix the sour cream and softened cream cheese. Add the garlic and onion powder, salt, and pepper. Using a large spoon or your hands, fold in the green beans and then transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 pan.
Cracker topping: In a small bowl, mix the crushed crackers and melted butter until fully incorporated, then add in the bacon bits. Sprinkle over the casserole.
Bake the casserole: Bake uncovered on the middle rack for 25-30 minutes.

Notes

The texture of the topping tastes a lot better when the bacon is crispy because it gives the creamy bean filling a nice crunch on top!

When making the green bean filling, use a large bowl as it’s tricky to mix the frozen beans with everything, and more room makes it easier and creates less mess!

Bake the casserole on the middle rack, and be sure to check on it a couple of times while it bakes to make sure the topping isn’t burning.
