Ingredients

Scale

For the Casserole

  • 24 oz Frozen Cut Green Beans, thawed
  • 10.5 oz Condensed Cheddar Soup
  • 1/2 cup Milk (regular or non-dairy)
  • 1 tbsp Dehydrated Minced Onion
  • 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Pepper
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese (or Monterey Jack or mozzarella)
  • 1/2 cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese (or Pecorino Romano)

For the Topping

  • 1 package Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix (or regular biscuit mix)
  • 1/4 cup Butter, melted (or olive oil as a substitute)
  • Milk (quantity as required for biscuit mix)
  • Cheddar Bay seasoning (to mix with melted butter for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking.
  2. Mix Casserole Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the thawed green beans, condensed cheddar soup, and milk. Add dehydrated minced onion, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Add Cheeses: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and shredded parmesan cheese into the green bean mixture until evenly combined.
  4. Prepare Baking Dish: Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Evenly spread the green bean and cheese mixture in the dish.
  5. Make Biscuit Topping: In a separate bowl, mix the biscuit mix with its seasoning packet, shredded cheddar cheese, and milk as per biscuit mix instructions until a smooth batter forms.
  6. Top the Casserole: Pour the biscuit batter evenly over the green bean mixture, spreading it flat with a spatula to cover completely.
  7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Brush with Butter and Seasoning: Mix melted butter with Cheddar Bay seasoning and brush this flavorful mixture over the baked biscuit topping to add richness and extra flavor.
  9. Rest and Serve: Allow the casserole to rest for about 5 minutes after baking. This helps it set slightly for easier serving.

Notes

  • Thaw green beans fully before mixing to ensure even cooking.
  • Feel free to substitute cheeses based on preference or availability, such as Monterey Jack or mozzarella for cheddar.
  • If you don’t have Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix, regular biscuit mix works well as a substitute.
  • Use non-dairy milk alternatives to make the dish lactose-friendly.
  • For a lower-fat version, use reduced-fat cheese and milk alternatives, and substitute olive oil for butter.
  • Ensure to brush the topping with seasoned butter immediately after baking to maintain the classic Cheddar Bay flavor.
