Ingredients
  

  • 2 (14.5-ounce) cans French-style green beans drained (you can also use 1.5 lbs fresh green beans, trimmed and blanched)
  • 1 (10.5-ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup (or cream of celery/chicken for an alternative flavor)
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole milk or 2% for creaminess)
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground preferred)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (plus more for topping, about 1/4 cup)
  • 1 (7.4-ounce) box Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix plus ingredients called for on the box (usually water, butter, and cheese packet)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted (for the biscuit topping)
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley (for biscuit topping, optional but recommended)

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • Large mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Preparation is Key: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. If using fresh green beans, blanch them in boiling salted water for 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp, then drain and set aside.
  2. Combine the Casserole Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained green beans, condensed cream of mushroom soup, milk, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir until all ingredients are well combined and the green beans are evenly coated.
    2 (14.5-ounce) cans French-style green beans, 1 (10.5-ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 cup milk, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  3. Add the Cheese: Gently fold in 1/2 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese into the green bean mixture. This will add an extra layer of creamy, cheesy goodness to the casserole.

  4. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the green bean mixture into the prepared 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  5. Prepare the Cheddar Bay Topping: Prepare the Cheddar Bay biscuit mix according to the package directions, usually by combining the mix with water. Once mixed, crumble the prepared biscuit dough evenly over the top of the green bean mixture in the baking dish. If there's extra cheese or seasoning packet from the biscuit mix, sprinkle it over the crumbled dough for extra flavor.

  6. Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly around the edges and the Cheddar Bay biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Finishing Touches: While the casserole bakes, melt the 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and stir in the dried parsley (if using). Once the casserole is out of the oven, immediately brush the melted butter and parsley mixture over the warm Cheddar Bay biscuit topping.
