Do you put worcestershire sauce in green bean casserole

Q: How do you make green bean casserole not runny?

If you dont, the excess water from the beans can leak out into the casserole and make it thin and runny. If you sense its a little watery, add a thickener like roux or starch to absorb the additional liquid or cook a little longer, she says. Thatll give it that rich, dense consistency youre looking for.

How do I thicken my green bean casserole?

Add a thickener While your green bean casserole is on the stove, incorporate a thickener into the vegetables, such as cornstarch or flour. According to The Kitchn, you can combine cornstarch and a small amount of water or broth in a cup and stir until the lumps are gone, and it becomes a thick yet drizzly consistency.

Is green bean casserole better with canned or fresh?

To kick things up a notch, I also use fresh green beans rather than canned ones because it gives the casserole the most refreshing flavor that's just to die for. That isn't to say that you can't use canned or frozen, if that's easier for you then go right on ahead!
