Can I use fresh green beans instead of canned?

Yes. Blanch or steam fresh green beans until just tender. Drain well to avoid extra water in the casserole.

Can I make Hamburger Green Bean Casserole ahead of time?

Yes. Assemble the casserole, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Add a few extra minutes to baking time if cold from the fridge.

Is there a vegetarian version of this casserole?

Yes. Swap the ground beef for cooked lentils or a plant-based crumble and use mushroom soup made without meat stock.

How do I make the casserole less salty?

Use low-sodium soup and rinse canned beans. Taste the browned beef before adding salt. Add small amounts of salt at a time.
