Who doesn’t love some green bean casserole on any holiday? It’s a staple at most Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter dinner tables and it’s even better when it’s a Weight Watchers Green Bean Casserole so you can know you are staying on track with your weight loss goals!

Just because you are watching your weight doesn’t mean you have to stay away from this classic casserole. It’s easy to add it into your daily Weight Watchers Points plan especially when it’s only 2 Weight Watchers points plus per 3/4 cup serving. You do not have to be afraid to bring this to any gathering just because it is a bit healthier than traditional Green Bean Casserole recipes – I am pretty sure no one will ever guess that it is a bit different!

Fresh String Bean Recipe Option

Of course if you prefer you can use fresh green beans instead of canned, which I often do because I am not a fan of mushy canned string beans and am really trying to up the amount of fresh veggies in my diet. If you decide to use fresh it will add a few minutes of prep time too.

For fresh string beans you will want to do the following:

  1. Use about 1/2 pound of string beans
  2. Wash thoroughly
  3. Cut the ends off the string beans
  4. Cut string beans in half for easier serving
  5. Add a bit of olive oil or coconut oil to a heated pan
  6. Heat string beans for about 3-4 minutes 
  7. Add remaining items from recipe above (excluding the canned string beans of course)
  8. Stir together until thoroughly mixed and pour into the casserole pan
  9. Bake as noted above.

Serving size should be about the same as above – but you can use more or less of the string beans.

    Thank you for this- one of my favorite holiday dishes and now it can be less guilt-filled. I try to use moderation. And I use non-fat choices for ingredients.
