Low-carb comfort food at its finest—bubbly, cheesy, and bacon-loaded!
Looking for a keto-friendly side dish that doesn’t feel like you’re missing out? This Keto Green Bean Casserole is the ultimate comfort classic, reimagined. Tender green beans, rich mushrooms, golden onions, crispy bacon, and a creamy, cheesy sauce come together in one glorious bake that’s perfect for holiday spreads or cozy weeknights.
Ingredients:
- 3 cups green beans, trimmed
- 4 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 1/2 cups mushrooms, sliced
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (nacho blend or your fave)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Optional Crunchy Onion Topping:
- A small handful of sliced onions
- Coconut flour, for dusting
- Oil, for frying
Instructions:
1. Preheat & Prep the Green Beans:
Preheat your oven to 200°C / 400°F.
Boil green beans in well-salted water for about 10 minutes or until fork-tender.
Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté the Veggies:
In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the onion, mushrooms, and garlic until deeply caramelized—this brings out all the flavor!
Season with salt and pepper.
3. Make It Saucy:
Add chicken stock and scrape up all the golden bits from the bottom of the pan.
Stir in cream cheese and let it melt into a smooth, creamy sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
4. Assemble & Bake:
In a casserole dish, combine the cooked green beans with the creamy mushroom mixture.
Top with shredded cheese and crumbled bacon.
Bake for about 10 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top.
5. Optional Onion Crunch (for that classic vibe):
Dust the reserved sliced onions with coconut flour.
Lightly fry in oil until crispy and golden, then drain on paper towels.
Sprinkle over the casserole right before serving for a satisfying crunch!
Serving Notes:
This dish pairs beautifully with roasted meats, turkey, or can totally stand on its own as a satisfying keto meal. With just a few carbs per serving and plenty of cheesy, savory richness, it’s a win for any low-carb lifestyle.
