And as a grownup, you may feel a little guilty for indulging in this childhood classic. Our easy keto green bean casserole update can change that!</p> <p>While traditional green bean casserole relies on canned soup and processed ingredients, this upgraded keto version keeps the carbs low and the flavor big. Just combine fresh, healthy ingredients to create a tasty new family tradition in under 30 minutes.</p> </section> <section id="section1"> <h2>Are Green Beans Okay on Keto? </h2> <p>Green beans are relatively low in carbs, making them a good option for anyone sticking to a low-carb or keto diet. Better still, they’re a good source of fiber, which lowers the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.warriormade.com/content/diet/what-are-net-carbs-how-do-you-calculate" rel="noreferrer">net carbs</a> you’ll digest and may keep you feeling full for longer.^{<a target="_blank" href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/fiber/art-20043983" rel="nofollow noreferrer">1</a>}</p> <p>One cup of plain cooked green beans contains 9.78 grams of carbs. Of those, 4 grams are fiber, totaling just under 6 grams of net carbs.^{<a target="_blank" href="https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/fdc-app.html#/food-details/342785/nutrients" rel="nofollow noreferrer">2</a>}</p> <h3>How Many Carbs Are in Green Bean Casserole?</h3> <p>A half-cup serving of traditional green bean casserole made with canned soup contains at least 11 grams of carbs. Depending on your family’s preferred recipe, that can increase to as much as 18 grams for just a small scoop!</p> <p>By making keto green bean casserole from scratch, you can cut down on processed ingredients and use healthier alternatives like fresh mushrooms, cream cheese, and chicken stock. It doesn’t take much more time, and the flavor payoff will blow your taste buds away.</p> <h3>How Do You Reheat Green Bean Casserole?</h3> <p>Naturally, one of the best things about any holiday feast is the leftovers the next day! Keto green bean casserole is easy to reheat on the stovetop. Just put a serving or two into a skillet and heat gently over medium heat until the sauce bubbles slightly. </p> <p>To freshen the dish up even more, try sprinkling the top with a little grated cheddar cheese and popping your oven-safe skillet under the broiler for 1-2 minutes.</p> <p>You can also prepare this easy recipe in advance, to cut down on work the day of your holiday dinner. Just line a baking dish with foil and pour in the prepped casserole filling, leaving off the cheese. Cover with more foil and freeze.</p> <p>When you’re ready to serve:</p> <ul> <li>Preheat the oven to 350F. </li> <li>Pop the foil-covered casserole into the oven and bake for 45 minutes or until warm and bubbly all the way through. </li> <li>Remove the foil covering and sprinkle with cheddar, then return to the oven to bake for about 5-10 more minutes or until the cheese is bubbly.</li> <li>Remove from the oven and top with crispy fried shallots to serve.</li> </ul> </section> <hr class="divider-15 divider-thick mx-auto"> <section class="recipe" id="section2"> <h2 itemprop="name">Simple Keto Green Bean Casserole</h2> <div class="prep"> <span> <meta itemprop="prepTime" content="PT15M">Prep Time: 10 minutes</span> <span> <meta itemprop="cookTime" content="PT35M">Cooking Time: 20 minutes</span> <span> <meta itemprop="recipeYield">Serves: 8</span> </div> <h3>Ingredients:</h3> <ul class="ingredients no-bullet"> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">3 cups fresh green beans, cut into 2-inch pieces</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">1 tablespoon butter</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">2½ cups button mushrooms, sliced</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">2 onions, sliced</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">2 cloves garlic, minced</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or ½ teaspoon dried)</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">½ teaspoon black pepper</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">½ cup chicken stock</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">½ cup grated cheddar cheese</li> </ul> <hr class="divider-50 divider-medium"> <h3>Instructions:</h3> <ol itemprop="recipeInstructions"> <li>Preheat the oven to 400⁰F. </li> <li>Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil.
