Low Carb Keto Green Bean Casserole is creamy, easy and the perfect side for the holidays!

Green Bean Casserole

The first traditional green bean casserole was created in 1955 from a woman named Dorcas Reiley at the Campbell Soup company. It consisted of green beans, cream of mushroom soup and fried onions. It quickly became a popular and much loved side dish for Thanksgiving dinners. Creating a delicious, low carb, keto version isn't as difficult as you would think and is a even tastier, in my opinion, using fresh ingredients as opposed to canned foods.

Keto Green Bean Casserole

Though my keto green bean casserole doesn't have fried onions on top, it is equally as comforting and delicious with it's incredible creamy, cheesy white sauce nicely coating all the  green beans and mushrooms throughout the casserole. Swapping canned mushrooms for fresh and using fresh herbs and onion, make this is an easy recipe you will make again and again, not just for the holidays but anytime you need a spectacular side dish.
