Green Bean Stuffing Casserole is a comforting spin on a classic holiday side dish.
Green Bean Stuffing Casserole
This past weekend has found us at one of our favorite places on the planet, our little cottage on a small lake in the middle of Nowhere, Wisconsin. I
t’s been a month or so since we have been here and with one of the first beautiful weekends of spring, there was work galore to be done, both inside and out. Haven’t been here for weeks, I was at a loss for knowing what food staples were on hand. T
he only thing I recalled seeing was a bag of frozen green beans. “What can I do with those?” I asked myself.
As the noon hour neared, I continued to rack my brain with what to make the guys for lunch. Not wanting to make the six-mile trip into town merely to pick up some lunch eats, I resorted to deciding on some grilled pork chops that I had brought along. I needed to think of a veggie to serve, and once again, I found mind going back to those beans.
This is a variant of the traditional green bean casserole. Although there are no french onion rings in this dish, we kept the crunch but went in a slightly different direction, using some dried stuffing mix. The flavor was great, and all the kids loved it, dads included. Sometimes it’s a challenge to get our boys to eat a healthy serving of vegetables, but with this easy side, we were able to sneak one past them. The boys got their flavor and their greens. Give this one a try sometime and let me know what you think. -Dan

How do you think this would taste with cream of chicken soup instead?
Delicious. Make it and find out. Be sure and let us know the results! Thanks for the great question!
Just a question for you ! Why do you use a skillet instead of a casserole dish??? I use a casserole dish in the oven so they can go right on the table, especially when serving company. (Just wondered!) Love the recipe thought!, Judy
Hi Judy, I love your question and I’m happy that you love this recipe too. To answer you, we only use a skillet because I have a “thing” for skillets! I know that’s not a great reason, but when we are at our little lake cabin I try to use all of the resources we have available in the kitchen there which is tiny. If I can bake something in the skillet, that saves room for one casserole dish that I can do without in my limited cabinet space. But like I said, I like the rustic nature of using a skillet. I’ve done potpies in them, blueberry pie, fritatta, even lasagna! Of course I have to always remember how hot that skillet handle is when I take it out of the oven, I have a few battle scars on my hands from the couple of that I forgot. I usually wrap the handle in an oven mitt or kitchen towel once the skillet comes out of the oven and then of course place it on top of a trivet once it goes on the table.

Yummy recipe boy! And your photos are awesome!
I wish my mind worked the way yours does. I would never have thought to do this. It sounds delicious!
I envy your lake in Nowhere. I am liking this recipe. Most people like green beans. So it’s a great ‘go to’ veggie especially if you are serving people you don’t know that well. Dressing is under used. I am kind of tired of the classic green bean recipe—yikes some people will come and get me in the night over that comment. Some of which would be some of my own family members. Good job making something delish when up against the all for ingredients.
This looks amazing Dan!
Love this recipe and reminds me of childhood!
Thanks, Joanne. I’m happy this evokes pleasant memories for you!
This looks fantastic, Dan ! And I love green beans !
Many thanks, Linda!
I could eat this all day long. yumma! Great idea subbing in the stuffing mix for fried onions!
Thanks, Christine. It turned out well!

Thank you Cindy, I hope you give it a try sometime!
