I don't like the recipe that uses cream of mushroom soup. Does anyone have a link to a great recipe that doesn't use canned soup or canned green beans?
TIA!

Not a casserole, but my favorite green beans are cooked down with butter. I know you said no canned green beans, but I'm posting it just in case you change your mind.
Buy ten cans of whole (not cut) green beans (when they're reduced it won't seem like nearly as much). Drain them thoroughly. Saute some garlic with a stick of butter (preferably Kerry Gold). Add beans and stir frequently over medium heat. Keep cooking until they've darkened in color and reduced by at least half.
The result is buttery, garlicky deliciousness. You could substitute fresh beans, but just be aware that it will take a long time for them to cook down.

Alton Brown has one. I made them this weekend, so good.

I like bacon with my green beans! https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/quick-green-beans-with-bacon/

I found this recipe a while back. It fits your criteria AND it is a winner (so tasty!).
Side note - I make mine GF with GF flour. Tastes fantastic and no one knows the difference!!!Homemade GB casserole
(* no canned beans or soup recipe)INGREDIENTS

@Kaohinani: oooh, that one sounds promising.

@mediagirl: I love bacon, but half the adults at Thankgiving don't eat pork products.

I just steam fresh green beans and toss with lots of garlic cooked in olive oil. Sometimes I'll add mushrooms that I cooked with the garlic. It's such a hit that it's become my go-to (I'll add bacon some years too, but I'll cook the bacon separately and crumble on top)

I make this one every year, it's delicious! http://everydaydishes.com/simple-food-recipes/fresh-green-bean-casserole-recipe/

I haven't tried this one without the bacon, but it's been a hit: https://www.daringgourmet.com/ultimate-green-bean-casserole/

Wow all these recipes look yum!!
I am NOT vegan but made this amazing green bean casserole dish that uses cashew milk. It was so creamy and delicious, and super healthy as far as green bean casseroles go. No one could tell the difference! It’s surprisingly become my go-to recipe for this dish, never thought it’d be vegan.

We just make them with brown butter and slivered almonds. No casserole.

I use Alton browns recipe except I don’t make my own onions- I use the kind in a can- french’s Or Trader Joe’s. I love it so much. Fresh green beans and homemade sauce. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/best-ever-green-bean-casserole-recipe-1950575.amp

I ended up using this Bon Appetite version and although it’s a simple recipe, it was a hit. Literally the star is the table. https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/bas-best-green-bean-casserole
I made it as-is, but next time I might do a bit more garlic. But it was really fabulous with fresh green beans, and would also be good with the thin “haricot vertes” style green beans, too.
