Green bean casserole is a very traditional dish on Thanksgiving day. However, despite the fact that the star of this dish is a ‘lean green bean’… The traditional version of this recipe can pack as much as 600 calories and 30 grams of fat into a one cup serving! This Thanksgiving, enjoy this almost too-good to be true healthy version, and impress your guests with an awesome dish that won’t weigh them down!
If you are preparing this dish ahead of time, simply make it in advance, cover in foil, and store in the fridge until ready to bake. Bake just before serving and serve warm!

I know you said to a previous reader that you can freeze this dish, thaw, then bake, BUT are you sure you can freeze with the yogurt in it? It just seems like it wouldn’t work well…. Just want to make sure! Thanks!

I made this for Thanksgiving and it was so delicious! This will definitely become a staple in our regular dinner rotation. I made it the night before and then baked it for 45 minutes to make the topping extra crunchy. The leftovers were great too. Thanks so much!

I would love to try to make this! Do you have a suggestion to replace the mushrooms with something else (allergies)? Thanks so much!
Dashing Dish said:
you could replace them with more onions, another veggie, or leave them out all together

This was absolutely the best green bean casserole I have ever had… I would take it over the taste of the full fat version any day!

Love the idea of a low fat healthy cream of mushroom! do you have any suggestions for a cream of chicken? Thanks!
Dashing Dish said:
check out my base for the green bean casserole
Dorinda said:
That sounds good would you add chicken bullion to give it the chicken flavor then?

LOVED this recipe. Such great flavors, and perfect for the holiday season. I think I used too large of a casserole dish and next time will prepare it in a slightly smaller dish (maybe 9×9) so that it is stays a bit more moist and you get more beans/less topping per bite ;)
