Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 cups green beans
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup biscuit mix
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup water
Seasonings and Extras:
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Warm your oven to a precise 350F and grab a 9×13 inch baking dish for preparing your casserole.
- Carefully trim 4 cups of fresh green beans into uniform 2-inch pieces, ensuring even cooking.
- Combine the green beans with 1 can cream of mushroom soup, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and ½ cup milk in a spacious mixing bowl.
- Transfer the vegetable and cheese mixture into your greased baking dish, spreading it evenly across the surface.
- Create the biscuit topping by whisking 1 cup biscuit mix, ½ cup water, ¼ cup melted butter, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tsp onion powder in a separate bowl.
- Gently dollop spoonfuls of the biscuit mixture across the top of your green bean base, covering most of the surface.
- Slide the casserole into the preheated oven and bake for exactly 35 minutes until your topping turns a beautiful golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes, helping the ingredients set and making it easier to serve.
Notes
- Make sure your green beans are well-drained to prevent a watery casserole that won’t set properly.
- Shred the cheddar cheese fresh for better melting and a more vibrant cheese flavor in your dish.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular biscuit mix with a gluten-free alternative and check that your cream of mushroom soup is also gluten-free.
- If you prefer a crispier topping, broil the casserole for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
