Joshua McMorrow-Hernandez
Want a great-tasting vegetable side dish or snack that has nice, rich flavor? You'll want to try Green Giant Green Bean Casserole. Green Giant Green Bean Casserole brings the classic flavor right to your table in minutes. The mouth-watering combination of moist green beans, French-fried onions, and a buttery sauce is a deliciously rich flavor that you'll be craving more of after you've finished your Green Giant Green Bean Casserole.

Preparing

You can cook your Green Giant Green Bean Casserole in your microwave or on your stove top with ease.

Microwave

Place the green bean casserole pouch (with a small slit cut into the top of the plastic) in your microwave and cook on High for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes have passed, rotate the pouch one-quarter turn and then continue cooking the green bean casserole for another 3 to 5 minutes on High. After you're through cooking, remove the very hot pouch from the microwave, cut the pouch open, and enjoy your green bean casserole in a bowl or on a plate.

Stove Top

If you want to cook your Green Giant Green Bean Casserole on your stove top, place the unbroken pouch in an uncovered 3-quart pot of boiling water for 24 minutes; be sure to turn the pouch over in the water after the first 12 minutes of cooking. After, remove the very hot pouch from the water.

Flavor

Green Giant Green Bean Casserole is a great way to get more vegetables into your diet. While some may object to the 450 milligrams of sodium found in one 2/3-cup serving of Green Giant Green Bean Casserole, remember that this classic recipe will have you enjoying green food with ease. The buttery sauce is rich, and the French-fried onions add a bit of zest to this otherwise fairly bland-flavored dish.
