This recipe became my favorite. I thank you very much Sir.

[@rachel1625]

I've followed you for over 10 years and realized I don't think I've ever commented. I just wanted to let you know that I often look for recipes with "Chef John" included in my search. I've made this green bean casserole for several Thanksgivings and it's always very well received. I love your humor and have learned so much from watching you over the years! I was watching some of your videos yesterday and it dawned on me how much of a role you've played in my cooking for a long time now. So thank you! Me and my daughter used your recipe for pumpkin pie yesterday. Have a happy Thanksgiving!

[@maritzarico1229]

Same 👍🏼

[@djchamkila]

Same, I have cooked this dish for few thanksgivings. Kids love it.

Couldn’t agree more. Happy thanksgiving and holidays Rachel!

[@jwprimetime9795]

I rarely comment too but more than half the dishes i make for company come from chef John. He’s the best!

[@soup5995]

"Make sure to use your hands so you burn yourself" and "If you are afraid of cutting yourself, have your kids do this step" are the best Chef John lines in Food Wishes history.

Chef John-“if you’re on your grandma’s porch” brought a smile and a tear- I did learn to prep green beans from my dear Grandma on her porch in West Virginia! Best cook ever! Her main ingredient was Love!

[@Olga-ut8sm]

I remember doing that too💗.

[@bophreyhumgart2953]

It brought Aunt Bea from the Andy Griffith Show to mind for me.

[@rkmari6872]

Her main ingredient was yelling at you to get out of the kitchen 😂

[@Isabella66Gracen]

Me too! Makes me miss my grandmother and my mom. They would never let a knife touch those green beans. We snapped them all by hand into correctly sized pieces. 🥲❤

[@bethgaither1214]

Me too!

[@toddvanalstyne6116]

I have made this a couple times and have been "ordered" to make it for Thanksgiving this year again. I usually don't care of the traditional casserole, but this one is a crowd pleaser!

[@rainyday9068]

that's all the confirmation I need to try this Thanksgiving. thank you.

[@roseymosqueda769]

Rainy Day I am trying it for the first time this Thanksgiving as well! I will have to substitute the onions with French onions but I think it will be great!

[@melissarey2973]

Every time I see a green bean casserole recipe I am reminded of the time I went with a then-boyfriend to his uncle's for Thanksgiving only to learn that no one there could cook anything more complicated than scrambled eggs and toast. So I made an entire Thanksgiving dinner for 12 by myself in someone else's kitchen with low quality equipment. At least they thawed the turkey and had purchased quality ingredients. And a cousin volunteered to help keep things tidy and wash things between dishes while I worked so that was helpful.

[@HenriTan]

"definitely burn your hands" He could be a comedian and a chef. I love how he says it in a serious tone. lol

[@rehanmunshi85]

I made this last year and everyone loved it! I mix the cheese into the sauce, along with the green beans so that everything is nice and coated and then assemble as done here :)

[@djrodney13]

made this yesterday for thanksgiving and killed it. thanks chef john. also did the marscapone mashed potatoes. i was the talk of the evening.

[@mommatri2346]

Would you say this can be made the night before? If so would you actually bake it or just assemble it and then bake day of thanksgiving?

[@XjtBA]

momma tri23 I would definitely say this could be made the night before, before baking. Cover well with foil and refrigerate. Then take out of refrigerator a few minutes to rest at room temperature before baking.

[@hannahrose4266]

[@samijust8689]

Chef John’s channel are the ONLY videos where I don’t check the length nor speed up. The best!!

[@foodwishes]

@HKOverlord117 Yeah, it is a pretty advanced technique. You need to put butter in pan, and turn on the heat until it melts. Took me like 3 semesters of culinary school before I got that one down. ;)

[@russelljconquerslifehawkey]

You can melt the butter quicker in the microwave and then just pour it in the pan

[@jacquisamsung2619]

Chef John has the most amazing sense of humour, I literally have to watch his recipes twice - first time to laugh out loud and , the second to smile whilst concentrating on his recipe

[@kikiperales95]

And after 10 years of this video I still come back and watch it again because I love his recipes 🥰

[@ftamer1]

I have made this recipe twice. Huge hit every time. My kids hate green beans but love them in this recipe!

[@Spoke76]

Thank you. I have 2 picky eaters, the hubs and the kid. I haven't had green bean casserole in YEARS! But for Easter, 2024, I'm making it. I will half the recipe but your comment gave me hope ❤

[@susieq5236]

The best green bean casserole in the world. Total hit at thanksgiving 2017. Thanks for this recipe!

[@HearturMind]

I love your sense of humor. And you are the best “doctor up” guy for recipes that are not so culinary. Thanks for making it fun.

[@tzkelley]

This is my second year making this recipe and I love it! The one suggestion I have is to add two or three teaspoons of lemon juice to the white sauce to brighten it up a little.

[@jenniferburgess7668]

I love how nice these comments are! I never here enough positive commentary anywhere else!

Awesome! My mother always did the quick and easy version with canned beans and the crispy french onions with crushed up potato chips on top and it was pretty darn good, but I bet this is extraordinary! Next time I make french onion soup, this will definitely be following shortly after.

[@barbmurphy8770]

Oh my gosh, I am 57 and have spent my whole life pinching the ends from green beans one by one by one.....wheww! I mostly avoid fresh green beans cuz they were such a pain to prepare/clean. Why didn't I think of this great and easy method of trimming the beans? Brilliant!

[@karenjohnston2844]

I remember that when we would snap the green beans it was supposed to pull that side string off. That is why our grandmothers did it that way instead of cutting the ends off. I guess it doesn't matter and maybe we had to do it the time intensive way to keep us busy and out of trouble!

[@bigjthejoker1306]

@@karenjohnston2844 a lot of the beans grown today are stringless beans unlike the heirloom beans our grandparents used.

[@macklemicklenackle]

Jon, yo I made this last night for my friends and when I went for back for more (because I serve myself last) this dish was GONE!! I mean gone as in there weren't any cheese flakes or even onions left! It was the only dish that I didn't have to wash hahahaha ~thanks, love your channle.

I made this green beans caserole few days ago, for thanksgiving 2018 with little twist since my husband is sensitive to gluten .. 2.5 tbsp gluten free flour for roux and substituted panko with almond meal .. it turned out super delicious .. our family loves it, no green beans left .. I prepared all ingredients a night before thanksgiving and took it out from refrigerator an hour before i put in the oven the next day ... Thanks chef

if i don`t make mine the same every time i will hear about it fam .church.friend`s, my secrete i use fresh green beans smoked ham and jimmy dean spicy sausage cooked like ground beef french's onions and McCormick sausage flavored country gravy it will make your tongue slap your brain`s out and build this dish deep not 2,3 make sure it`s almost 4 1/2 to 5 inches deep this is best cooked for a long time say your usual cook time is 45 min at 400 try 1 3/4 hour at300 take it out set the oven to 400/ 424 after once preheated put the french's onions on and cook until the onions turn almost brown i call it my mountain man G B C the third year i made um for a church thing that was it the ladies that run our kitchen got a little upset about my famed casserole there was not a bite left of mine but one of the ladies still had half of her`s left i've enjoyed my well you could say my unsolicited celebrity

[@kreate06]

+don engelmeier kan you list on how your make yours or even a video this sounds so delicious i would love to make this dish

[@donengelmeierthinks]

kreate06 cook your fresh green beans with your 1/2 inch cubed smoked ham make sure to drain as much water off as you can you want it thick so make your gravy thick just use less water mix it all together and slow cook it till the end turn it up ad your French`s onions when they start to brown take it out sit it on a pie rack let it cool for just a bit enjoy.............

I made this tonight as my husband requested green beans to go with our anniversary dinner and I had some gruyere in the fridge that I needed to use up. I made a wee casserole as there are on two of us (divided everything by 4). And, I had to use pinot grigio vinegar as I had no sherry vinegar on hand. a It was wonderful! I will definitely introduce this dish to others who look down on "green bean casserole".

[@niknok8116]

How can I ever go back to the basic green bean casserole with the fake onions after watching this.

Sara Apodaca yes I hate fake onions

[@lah8197]

My god I love you, chef John. You’re the man.

[@XjtBA]

Just read your ingredient list and will try this recipe with your suggestion: One small change I would make next time, and that I’ve added to the ingredients list, is a small splash of sherry vinegar added to the onion mixture. As you hardcore foodwishers know, that is the secret ingredient in our famous French onion soup recipe, and I believe it would have better balanced out the sweetness of the dish.

[@brandomichaelson4094]

Glad I came across this comment; I'm gonna have to try that next time! Sounds like a good tip.
