how long to bake green bean casserole
The classic Green Bean Casserole. The baking time for this popular side dish can vary depending on the size of your casserole and your oven’s temperature. Here are some general guidelines:
Standard Recipe (9×13-inch casserole dish):
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is hot, the green beans are tender, and the French-fried onions on top are golden brown.
Smaller Casserole (8×8-inch dish):
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is hot, the green beans are tender, and the French-fried onions on top are golden brown.
Larger Casserole (11×15-inch dish):
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the casserole is hot, the green beans are tender, and the French-fried onions on top are golden brown.
Tips:
- Make sure to check the casserole after the minimum baking time to avoid overcooking.
- If you’re using a convection oven, reduce the baking time by 5-10 minutes.
- If you’re unsure about the casserole’s doneness, insert a fork or knife into the center. If it slides in easily, the casserole is done.
Remember, these are just guidelines. Your oven’s performance may vary, so keep an eye on the casserole to ensure it’s cooked to your liking.
