Ingredients
Scale
Green Bean Mixture
- 26 oz frozen cut green beans, thawed
- 10.5 oz condensed cheddar soup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 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
- 1/3 cup shredded parmesan cheese
Biscuit Topping
- 1 box Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix (including seasoning packet)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
- Prepare the Green Bean Mixture: 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 all ingredients are well mixed.
- Add the Cheese: Stir in 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese and 1/3 cup shredded parmesan cheese evenly into the green bean mixture.
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Add the Green Bean Mixture: Pour the cheese and green bean mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Make the Biscuit Topping: In a separate mixing bowl, pour the biscuit mix along with the included Cheddar Bay seasoning packet. Add 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 2 cups milk, stirring until the batter is smooth and free of large lumps.
- Top the Green Beans with Biscuit Mix: Pour the biscuit batter evenly over the green bean mixture in the baking dish, covering it completely.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes or until the biscuit topping cooks through and turns golden brown.
- Add Butter and Seasoning: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the reserved Cheddar Bay seasoning packet. Once the casserole is out of the oven, brush this flavorful butter mixture evenly over the biscuit topping.
- Rest the Casserole: Allow the casserole to rest for about 5 minutes so the butter mixture can soak into the biscuit crust.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm and enjoy this creamy, cheesy Cheddar Bay Green Bean Casserole as a delightful side dish.
