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!

I love that you are thinking ahead, I made a few Christmas cookies for the blog already too (eeks I know) but nothing for Thanksgiving yet. This green bean casserole looks so good! Love the corn in here too – this would be perfect for Thanksgiving – pinning!

I really wish that thanksgiving was a thing here in the UK as you have so much nice food to go with it. I might just make myself a thanksgiving dinner so I can eat this!
Yasmeen says
Oh my goodness, this sounds amazing!!
Jen+@+Baked+by+an+Introvert says
I love how you are thinking ahead. I haven’t even begun to think about Thanksgiving. And Christmas shopping isn’t even going to happen this year. I’m mailing gift cards instead. We’re moving in the midst of the holiday season…
Green bean casserole is one of my favorite side dishes. I love the addition of corn and cheese cracker crumbs. Sounds tasty. Pinning!
Julie Evink says
Oh a move in the middle of the holiday rush is no fun at all. I’d totally do the gift card route too!
Gayle @ Pumpkin N Spice says
I was literally just thinking last night that I need to try testing out some Thanksgiving side dishes, and this one immediately came to mind. It’s my signature recipe every year (like everyone else, lol) but I love it! I’ve used cream of chicken soup before, but never cream of celery, so I will have to try this! Thanks for sharing, Julie!
Julie Evink says
I’m so glad I was thinking the same way as you!
Alice+@+Hip+Foodie+Mom says

Glad I didn’t rush you to much 🙂 I was slightly hesitant about posting this!!!
