Ingredient Notes
There are three simple parts to this recipe: the sauce, the veggies, and the topping made with crackers.
The sauce is so creamy and cheesy with cream of celery soup, sour cream, finely chopped onion, and shredded cheddar cheese that melts into the sauce while it bakes.
To make things really easy with the main vegetables, I use canned French-style green beans and frozen corn. You don’t have to thaw the corn first – just add it to the sauce.
For the topping, all you need are crushed cheese crackers. You can use your favorite kind, but I usually use Cheez-Its. Crush them in a resealable bag with a rolling pin, or blitz them in a food processor.
2 Steps to Prepare this Quick and Easy Side Dish
Once you have your ingredients ready, it takes no time at all to assemble the casserole!
- Assemble: Combine the soup, sour cream, cheese, onion in a large mixing bowl. Add the green beans, corn, and stir to combine. Pour the mixture into a 2-quart baking dish coated with cooking spray.
- Bake: Cover the baking dish and bake the casserole for 25 minutes at 350 degrees F. Uncover it and sprinkle the crushed crackers around the edge of the casserole, leaving the middle exposed. Spritz the crackers with some butter spray. Bake it for 15 more minutes or until it’s hot and bubbly!
Assemble it Ahead for Holiday Dinners
This is a straightforward side dish, but to make life even easier for holiday dinners, you can assemble a day in advance and keep it in the refrigerator.
If you do, don’t add the crackers until you are ready to bake it. That way, they will be nice a crunchy! I usually crush them ahead of time and keep them in a resealable bag. That way, when it’s time to pop the casserole in the oven, I sprinkle them over the top and bake it.
If you bake the casserole straight from the fridge, you may need to add a few minutes to the baking time. It’s ready when it’s hot and bubbly!
Main Dish Ideas!
This green bean corn casserole with cheese goes with all the holiday main dishes, but it’s also a great side dish for weeknight dinners. You don’t need to wait for Thanksgiving or other holidays to make it!
- Serve it with roast turkey, honey baked ham, or slow cooker pineapple ham for a delicious holiday dinner.
- It’s also great with Parmesan pork chops, baked chicken legs, and griddle steaks for an amazing weeknight dinner!

Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
My family really likes this dish. I am wondering if this could be done in a crock pot. I want to double the recipe and because of needing oven space I would like to know if a crock pot could be used.
I would just follow the cooking directions on this recipe – https://www.julieseatsandtreats.com/the-best-crockpot-green-bean-casserole/
Has anyone added pre cooked meat like chicken or ham?
That would work great!
Even with the intuitive addition of much ground pepper and a healthy sploosh of Worcestershire, the result was bland and tasteless. I made it for a buffet-style dinner party, and ended up with almost as much at the end as I had at the beginning…and I noticed while cleaning up that guests who’d tactfully put a glob on their plates left it there. I scraped a whole lot of this mess straight down the drain. Epic fail. Too bad. It cost around 8 bucks for the ingredients.
I’m sorry you felt like that.
Do you drain the green beans?
Hi Nora, thanks for the question. Yes, you’ll want to drain the green beans!
Fabulous! Quick, easy, delicious.
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
I haven’t tried this YET but I seriously doubt I won’t like it since I love all the ingredients. I do have a question that I hope you can send me a quick reply to can I use fresh green beans Vs. Canned and if so should I cook it longer or up the temperature?
Thanks
Yes, you can use fresh green beans. I would leave the temperature as it is and cook it longer if needed. Start with the cook time on the recipe and add from there until the beans are cooked through!
This was so good. I added ham and carrots to it.
Perfect! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
What type of cheese crackers would you recommend?
We use original Cheez-Its but really, any cheese cracker would work.
I added a splash of soy sauce, maybe a tbsp total, and a tbsp of Dijon mustard when combining the soup and sour cream. We e didn’t have cream of celery on hand, so I had to use cream of mushroom instead. It was fabulous!!! Can’t wait to make it again for Thanksgiving in a few days!! Thank you for this great recipe!!
Great additions! Love that it worked with what you had on hand!
