Green Bean Casserole Over Mashed Potatoes

A delicious spin on a classic! Turn this favorite holiday green bean side dish into a meal!

Green bean casserole is one of them iconic, traditions that many of us will soon be enjoying over the holiday season. I know our family has been enjoying this dish ever since my first Thanksgiving day meal. Rather than just serving up some drained green beans she was always sure to whip up a nice family-sized green bean casserole to accompany our turkey, and dressing like mashed potatoes.

That recently got me thinking. Mashed potatoes and green bean casserole are my two favorite holiday side dishes so why not combine them and make a meal out of them? That is where my Bean Casserole over mashed potatoes serving idea came from. Enjoying some Green Bean Casserole Over Mashed Potatoes is fun and super tasty!

I am not sure about your family but I know mine are more apt to enjoy a meal that looks nice, and is “fun”. These Green Bean Casserole Over Mashed Potatoes are just that are actually so hearty that they make a complete meal! I love the flavor of French’s® Crispy Fried Onions over some fresh red bliss mashed potatoes. Plus the creamy green bean casserole underneath is just way too good!
