Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of Mushroom Soup Classic choice; can substitute with Cream of Chicken
- 3-4 cups Green Beans (fresh or canned) Fresh beans are fancy; canned are easy
- ½ cup Milk Or half-and-half for extra creaminess
- 1 ½ cups Crispy Fried Onions Some for topping, essential for crunch
- to taste Salt and Pepper Basic seasoning; adjust as needed
- to taste Shredded Cheese (optional) Sharp cheddar is great for flavor
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, stir together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, salt, and pepper.
- Add the green beans and half of the crispy fried onions into the mixture and mix well.
- Pour the mixture into a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
- After 25 minutes, add the remaining crispy fried onions (and cheese if using) on top and bake for an additional 5 minutes until bubbly and golden.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Fresh green beans take more work; you should trim the ends and possibly blanch them to soften. Rinse canned beans to reduce saltiness. A dash of garlic powder can enhance flavor. Resting the casserole for 5 minutes allows it to set better. For a gourmet touch, add smoked paprika before serving.
