Keto Green Bean Casserole
This dish features a creamy sauce made from heavy cream, cream cheese, and soy sauce, simmered with a bit of dried onion until it’s thick enough to coat a spoon.
Fresh green beans are then mixed in and cooked a bit longer. Finally, it’s all placed in an oven-proof dish, topped with cheddar cheese, and broiled until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
I tried using frozen green beans, but they turned out too mushy. Fresh mushrooms added too much liquid, whether chopped or sliced.
However, a little minced garlic or a sprinkle of garlic powder enhances the flavor nicely. You can also add a drop or two of Worcestershire sauce or even a bit of butter for extra richness.
Don’t forget to check your soy sauce to ensure it’s gluten-free if that’s important to you, as not all soy sauces are. If you’re watching your sodium intake, opt for a low-sodium soy sauce. Enjoy your keto green bean casserole!

What To Serve With Low Carb Green Bean Casserole?
Variations We Can Definitely Try!
- Cheese Lover’s Twist: Layer in some shredded cheese between the green beans and on top before baking. Cheddar, Parmesan, or a blend of your favorite cheeses will add extra richness and flavor.
- Crispy Bacon Addition: Cook some bacon until it’s crispy, crumble it, and sprinkle it over the casserole before serving. The bacon adds a savory crunch and an extra layer of taste.
- Fresh Herb Infusion: Boost the flavors with fresh herbs. A sprinkle of chopped parsley, thyme, or rosemary mixed into the sauce or on top can elevate the dish’s overall taste.
- Almond Flour Topping: Replace or complement the cheddar cheese topping with a mixture of almond flour, butter, and a pinch of seasoning. This provides a low-carb, crunchy alternative.
- Veggie Medley: Add variety and nutrients by mixing in additional low-carb vegetables such as bell peppers, broccoli, or cauliflower.
- Spice It Up: For a kick of heat, add a dash of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the sauce. This will give your casserole a spicy dimension.
