The Best Canned Green Bean Recipes

1. NO MUSHROOM GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE

Canned green beans, cheese, french fried onions, and a few seasonings is all you need for the best green bean casserole. This is an amazing side dish recipe for nice Sunday dinners and especially for Thanksgiving. 

2. Southern Green Beans

This easy recipe for old fashioned slow-cooked green beans starts with bacon and canned green beans and turns into something that tastes like someone’s grandma made them. Trust me, these will not taste like canned beans when they have finished cooking!

3. Slow Cooker Barbecued Green Beans

The canned green beans are slow cooked with ketchup, brown sugar, BBQ sauce (use your favorite) and Worcestershire sauce. And bacon. Lots of bacon bits. I like to add just a touch of cayenne pepper to balance the sweetness some.

Four to five hours in the crock pot on LOW and the green beans are coated in the most amazing sweet and tangy flavor!

4. Garlic Parmesan Canned Green Beans

They’re great for the everyday, but I adore them even more because they’re also perfect for fancier occasions. Special meals, big family gatherings, and even the holidays. Green beans are a mainstay at them all.

5. Italian Green Beans

We think this is a million times better than the classic green bean casserole. One bite and you are sure to agree this is one of the best green bean recipes EVER!

Tender green beans, bacon, onion, red, yellow, and green bell peppers simmered in Italian marinade. Garnish with cashews before serving.

6. AIR FRYER CANNED GREEN BEANS

These beans are cooked until tender and crispy, making them the perfect accompaniment to any dish.

You can either air fryer regular cut or canned french style green beans recipe. The recipe will work the same!

7. Green Bean Potato Casserole

Who can pass on a dish that has crunchy chopped bacon and cheddar cheese? I also love that this recipe is lighter without all the cream soup inside.

I like having a green vegetable at dinner time and this twist on the traditional green bean casseroles brings the green and adds in some extra yum.

8. RANCH STYLE GREEN BEANS

Only 4 ingredients and ready in 20 minutes – you can't beat that! This is one of the best canned green beans recipe.

9. MARINATED FOUR BEAN SALAD

This zesty bean salad is a great summer side dish or potluck favorite, a colorful mix of canned beans tossed with a sweet-tangy dressing!

Fresh beans can be substituted in but canned is what I normally use. This is one of my favorite side dishes that the whole family loves!

10. Canned Green Bean Salad

A very flavorful salad that can be made with canned or fresh cooked green beans that’s perfect any time of the year, but especially good during the hot months of Summer. 

I don’t recommend using French Style Green beans, they’re cut to thin, that’s just my opinion though, you can try it if that’s what you have.

11. Keto Green Beans Recipe with Cream Cheese

Keto Green Beans in Cream Cheese and garlic cloves are a delicious smothered green beans hot side dish that is low carb friendly and flavorful for the keto diet!

12. Dressed Up Canned Green Beans

Parmesan makes them rich and cheesy, and they have just the right amount of crunch from crispy bacon, fried onions and toasted almonds.

13. Cracker Barrel Copycat Country Style Green Beans

Canned green beans simmered with smokey bacon and onion until they are super tender make an awesome addition to any holiday table, family dinner party, or weekend feast!

These Cracker Barrel Copycat Country Style Green Beans will turn anyone into a green bean lover. I mean, there's bacon in them!

14. CAJUN GREEN BEANS

If you like lots of spice, you may want to add more cayenne and/or paprika. If you want less spice, opt for sweet paprika instead of smoked. You can also leave out the cayenne pepper until tasting and add a bit at the end if desired.

15. Firehouse Green Beans With Bacon

Step aside green bean casserole, Green beans with Bacon are an easy, last-minute side dish for holidays with the best blend of fresh garlic or garlic powder, parmesan and bacon that will have green bean haters begging for this good recipe!

17. Blackstone Green Beans with Bacon

We love making this quick side dish on the Blackstone. It saves me time and it makes for an easy cleanup. This Blackstone Green Beans with Bacon recipe is one of our family favorites. It is made with canned greens and seasoned with ingredients but fresh green beans can be used as well.

The bacon is cooked directly on the grilled and then green beans are added. They are sauteed in the bacon fat and a little bacon grease to give them more flavor.

18. Sweet and Sour Green Beans

19. GREEN BEAN SOUP

This easy canned green bean recipe is delicious for any time of the year. It is easy, budget friendly and clean. It is healthy and comforting, takes less that 45 minutes to cook and you can use fresh, frozen or even canned green beans and tomatoes.
