How to make Green Bean Casserole with Cream Cheese

Before you get started, make sure you have a baking dish ready.

If your green beans are not cooked yet, start with cooking them. To do that bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook for about 15 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese with the cream of mushroom soup, two-thirds of the French fried onions and dairy-free cheese, and all the seasonings. Then also mix in the tender green beans.

Transfer the green bean mixture to your baking dish and top with the remaining onions and cheese. Bake in the oven at 380F for 15 minutes until the top is golden brown.
