  • Fresh Herbs: Add a touch of freshness to the casserole by incorporating herbs like thyme, rosemary, or sage. Stir them in just before baking.
  • Seasoning: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasoning to your taste. Add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder if desired.
  • Baking Dish: Use a 9x13 inch baking dish to ensure the casserole has enough space to cook evenly.
  • Cooking Time: Bake the casserole for 20-25 minutes, or until the green beans are tender and the casserole is bubbly.
