How to make green bean casserole with cream of chicken

Q: How do you keep green bean casserole from getting soggy?

If your topping is soggy, its probably because the casserole itself is too wet. Before you add your topping try to thicken the casserole up with flour or cornstarch so the topping sits on top and doesnt sink to the bottom.

I am from north Dakota, the cold state :) I Love food a little too much but I am one of the picky ones, there is a lot of food I Don't like, but I Love cooking just about anything. Right now I am going to School for culinary arts, and loving all the things I'm learning, despite the challenges of going back to school at the age of 33. Though I spend a lot of time working with food I have so very little time to make my own! But I love it anyway :) I Have a little brat of a mini Doxie who is my one ad only baby, but I have lots of other cuties in My life that are very special to me, like my godson in the picture with me above :) 2009 Fall Swap: <img src=http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w115/bugh8er/Halloween/4811_180767.jpg> My Second Swap: <img src=http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w115/bugh8er/4th%20of%20July/4811_126789.jpg> My First Zaar Swap: <img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w115/bugh8er/food%20and%20swaps/4811_99858.jpg"> <img src=http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w115/bugh8er/food%20and%20swaps/4811_154543-1.jpg> My First Zaar World Tour: <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/participantbannerzwt5.jpg><img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/79877/hkban.jpg>

Is green bean casserole better with canned or fresh?

I would stick to fresh green beans with this recipe! Canned green beans tend to be mushy and tasteless once baked into the casserole, but using fresh beans cooked in chicken broth makes them perfectly crisp-tender and full of flavor! I just grab a few big handfuls of beans, chop off the ends, and cut them in half.

Are you supposed to cover green bean casserole when baking?

Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, until hot and bubbly in the center, about 30 to 40 minutes.
