Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cans green beans
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
Liquid Ingredients:
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
Topping:
- 1 cup crispy fried onions
Instructions
- Heat your oven to precisely 350°F, ensuring the rack sits in the center position for even cooking.
- Grab a spacious mixing bowl and combine 2 drained cans of green beans, 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, 1 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, and ½ cup of crispy fried onions. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients blend smoothly.
- Transfer the green bean mixture into a 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly across the surface.
- Slide the casserole into the preheated oven and bake for exactly 25 minutes, allowing the ingredients to meld and warm through.
- Carefully remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of crispy fried onions across the top of the casserole.
- Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, watching for a golden-brown color and bubbling edges that signal the casserole is perfectly cooked.
Notes
- Fresh green beans taste better than frozen, but frozen work in a pinch if you thaw and drain them completely.
- For a gluten-free version, swap the cream of mushroom soup for a homemade version using cornstarch as a thickener.
- Boost the flavor by adding a sprinkle of garlic powder or a dash of black pepper to the green bean mixture before baking.
- Make this dish ahead by preparing the casserole and refrigerating up to one day before baking, which helps the flavors meld together.
