Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 14.5 oz cans green beans
- 1.5 cups French’s crispy fried onions
Supporting Ingredients:
- 10.5 oz cream of mushroom soup
- 0.75 cup whole milk
Seasoning:
- 0.5 teaspoon soy sauce
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F, ensuring the rack is positioned in the center for even cooking.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 10.5 oz cream of mushroom soup and ¾ cup whole milk until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
- Add ½ teaspoon soy sauce and ¼ teaspoon black pepper to the soup mixture, stirring thoroughly to distribute the seasonings evenly.
- Drain two 14.5 oz cans of green beans completely and fold them into the creamy soup base, making sure each bean is well coated.
- Sprinkle ½ cup of French’s crispy fried onions into the green bean mixture, gently stirring to incorporate them throughout the casserole.
- Transfer the green bean mixture to a 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
- Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the edges to become slightly bubbly.
- Remove the casserole from the oven and give it a gentle stir to redistribute the ingredients.
- Scatter the remaining 1 cup of French’s crispy fried onions across the top of the casserole.
- Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, watching carefully until the onion topping turns a golden brown color.
- Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to set slightly.
Notes
- Freshly chopped mushrooms can replace cream of mushroom soup for a more homemade taste and lower sodium option.
- Swap dairy milk with unsweetened almond or oat milk to make the casserole dairy-free and lighter.
- For extra crunch, mix some sliced almonds with the French’s fried onions before topping the casserole.
- To prevent soggy beans, blanch fresh green beans briefly in boiling water before adding to the casserole, ensuring a crisp texture.
