Just made this for a bbq and it’s delicious! I think the only thing I’d change is making it a little spicier, but I make everything too spicy. This is really tasty.

Creole Green Beans

Creole Green Beans are savory and spicy and delicious with bacon, onions, tomatoes, chilies, and cajun seasoning and make a perfect Cajun Side Dish for Mardi Gras or any time.

Creole Green Beans make a perfect side dish to any Mardi Gras celebration meal.

Creole Green Beans

Since there is likely a 100% chance I won’t be making it to New Orleans for Mardi Gras this year, it does not stop me from celebrating at home by making some fabulous cajun / creole recipes.

The first Mardi Gras Celebration recipe is Creole Green Beans. These are one of my favorite side dishes to order at Cajun Seafood restaurants.  

Creole Green Beans

They are savory and spicy and delicious. With bacon, onions, tomatoes, chilies, and cajun seasoning it has to be amazing.

Pair it with Instant Pot Meatloaf (Philly Cheesesteak Style) for an out of this world meal.

These Creole Green Beans are loaded with flavor and complement other Cajun or Creole Dishes as well such as Cajun Blackened Chicken, Maque Choux, Baked Chicken Creole, Slow Cooker Jambalaya, and finish it off with Bananas Foster Upside Down Cupcakes.

      Hi,

      It is stirred in with the salt and pepper. Thank you for the question. I’ll add that to the recipe.

      Thanks,

    Can you make this a day ahead?? We are having a dinner party for 40 people and trying to do as much as possible a day ahead.

      Hi Karen,

      I understand wanting to make as much as possible ahead of time. Often, protein dishes, rice, potatoes, etc., can often be made ahead of time. However, for this green bean recipe, especially if you are using fresh green beans, is best to make shortly before the meal. It is not like a green bean casserole. Let me know if you have any other questions. Enjoy your party!

      Thanks,
      Michele
