Gluten Free Recipe - Green Bean Casserole

Perfect for a Holiday Meal or a Nice Dinner Anytime

Nov 16, 2009 Marissa Carter

Creamy and delicious, this gluten free green bean casserole is sure to be the hit of your holidays. Even guests who aren't on a gluten free diet will want seconds.

A gluten free diet can cause people to feel left out on the holidays. Many of the traditional favorites contain gluten, reducing the gluten free diner to going without. This gluten free green bean casserole will ensure that everyone at the table will have plenty to eat. It is easy to make and tastes just like “normal food”.

The gluten free flour called for in this recipe is used as a binding agent for the sour cream. Since the addition of any kind of starch will keep the sour cream from curdling, any kind of gluten free flour will work. Try adding a small boost of fiber by adding a gluten free whole grain flour. If there is no gluten free flour on hand, corn starch will work as well. If corn starch is used, mix it into the sour cream before adding it to the butter.

Ingredients for Gluten Free Green Bean Casserole

1/4 minced onion
3 Tbs. plus 1 Tbs. butter
2 Tbs. gluten free flour
8 oz. sour cream
4 cans cut green beans, well drained
1 cup shredded swiss cheese
1/2 cup gluten free corn flake crumbs

Preparation for Gluten Free Green Bean Casserole

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Melt 3 Tbs. butter in a large saucepan on medium heat.
Add onions and saute until the onions are translucent.
Add gluten free flour to the butter and onions in the pan. Cook for one minute.
Reduce heat to low and add sour cream to the pan. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Add green beans and stir until they are well coated with the sour cream mixture.
Transfer the green beans to a 9x13 casserole dish.
Top with shredded swiss cheese.
Melt the remaining 1 Tbs. butter and mix with the gluten free corn flake crumbs.
Spread the gluten free corn flake crumbs evenly over the top of the swiss cheese.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in a 350 degree oven until cheese is melted and casserole is bubbly.
Let stand 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Variation- Gluten Free Broccoli Casserole

Substitute one bag of frozen chopped broccoli, thawed and well drained, for the green beans.
Substitute one cup of cheddar cheese for the swiss cheese.

Make Ahead Preparation for Gluten Free Green Bean Casserole

Make the Gluten Free Green Bean Casserole up to two days ahead. Once the green beans are coated and transferred to the casserole dish, cover tightly and store in the refrigerator. Add the cheese and gluten free corn flake crumbs right before baking and increase cooking time to 30 to 35 minutes.
