Keto Green Bean Casserole is a creamy, low-carb side dish made with fresh green beans, a rich mushroom and cheese sauce, and a crunchy pork rind or almond flour topping. A healthier twist on the classic holiday favorite.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (white or cremini)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup crushed pork rinds or almond flour (for topping)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella (optional, for topping)
  • Fresh thyme or parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a casserole dish.
  2. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and blanch green beans for 3–4 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
  3. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
  4. Add mushrooms and cook for 5–7 minutes until browned and softened.
  5. Stir in heavy cream, cream cheese, Parmesan, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer until thickened.
  6. Add green beans to the sauce and stir to coat.
  7. Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish.
  8. Mix crushed pork rinds or almond flour with shredded cheese (if using) and sprinkle over the top.
  9. Bake for 20–25 minutes until bubbly and golden. Broil for 1–2 minutes for extra crispiness if desired.
  10. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use frozen green beans if needed—just thaw and drain first.
  • Make ahead by assembling up to 2 days in advance without the topping.
  • To keep it dairy-free, use coconut cream and dairy-free cheeses.
  • For extra richness, add shredded Gruyère or sharp cheddar to the sauce.
  • Reheat leftovers in oven or microwave, adding a splash of cream if the sauce thickens too much.
