Ingredients to make a keto green bean casserole

– Green beans: Fresh or frozen will work in this recipe. I prefer to get the fresh ones because they are more crispy.

– Butter: I generally prefer salted butter, but you may use unsalted if that’s what you prefer.

– Garlic: Fresh garlic is ideal. I use a microplane to finely mince the garlic, but you may also finely chop it by hand.

– Mushrooms: Use whatever kind you like. I prefer fresh baby portobello because they have a nice depth of flavor and don’t overpower the sauce.

– Pork rinds: A great keto substitute when you need to add crunch to your dishes.

– Parmesan cheese: Please use freshly grated parmesan cheese. Pre-grated will not work as well in this recipe because it has a tendency to clump up when baked.

– Salt & pepper: Seasoning with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper is my preference.

Be sure to keep cooking your sauce until it has a thick, creamy consistency. Do a check by using a spoon and making sure the sauce is not drippy and runny.

Can I fix a watery green bean casserole?

Yes you can!  Add a collagen or unflavored gelatin. Gather a small amount of the casserole liquid into a small glass and dissolve a tbsp of gelation. Add back to the casserole dish and disperse and cook for a few more minutes.
