Main Ingredients
- 26 oz frozen cut green beans, thawed
- 10.5 oz condensed cheddar soup
- 1/2 cup milk (for green bean mixture)
- 1/4 cup dehydrated minced onion
- 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Topping
- 1 box Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (for topping)
- 2 cups milk (for biscuit batter)
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 seasoning packet from the biscuit mix box (Cheddar Bay seasoning)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
- Mix Main Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed green beans, condensed cheddar soup, 1/2 cup milk, dehydrated minced onion, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
- Add Cheese: Incorporate the 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese and 1/3 cup shredded parmesan cheese into the green bean mixture, stirring thoroughly again.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish generously with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Transfer Mixture: Pour the green bean mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly for uniform baking.
- Prepare Biscuit Batter: In a separate bowl, pour the biscuit mix from the box and set aside the included seasoning packet. Add 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 2 cups milk to the biscuit mix, stirring until the batter is smooth with no large lumps.
- Top Casserole: Pour the prepared biscuit batter evenly over the green bean mixture in the baking dish, ensuring full coverage.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the biscuit topping turns a beautiful, golden brown.
- Brush with Butter Mixture: Combine the melted butter with the reserved Cheddar Bay seasoning packet in a small bowl. Remove the casserole from the oven and brush this buttery mixture generously over the biscuit topping.
- Rest and Serve: Allow the casserole to rest for about 5 minutes to absorb the buttery flavors. Serve warm and enjoy this cheesy, comforting side dish!
Notes
- Make sure to thaw the frozen green beans thoroughly before mixing to ensure even cooking.
- Spraying the baking dish with cooking spray prevents the casserole from sticking and makes cleanup easier.
- Brush the biscuit topping immediately after baking for the best buttery flavor and shine.
- For added texture, consider sprinkling some extra cheese on top before baking.
- This casserole pairs wonderfully with holiday roasts, turkey.
