If you are planning to add an extra vegetable dish to your Thanksgiving dinner, you can either make a simple salad or you can try making the Green Bean Casserole. Green Bean Casserole is another classic side dish to serve with the Turkey.

I actually made a simple version of Green Bean Casserole because I didn’t have so much time preparing so many dishes at the same time. The main thing for the Green Bean Casserole preparation is the green beans, cream of mushroom, french fried onions and cheese. You can easily make them ahead of time. See step-by-step guide as attached images and recipe as below.
