Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 2 14.5 ounces cans green beans
- 1 10.5 ounces can cream of celery soup
- ½ cup milk
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups crispy fried onions
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Salt
Instructions
- Crank your oven to a toasty 350F and prepare a standard 8×8 or 9×9 inch baking dish with a light spray of cooking oil.
- Grab a medium mixing bowl and whisk 1 can of cream of celery soup with ½ cup milk, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper until your mixture looks silky and uniform.
- Drain 2 cans of green beans completely, then fold them into the creamy sauce along with ⅔ cup crispy fried onions, stirring until every bean gets coated.
- Transfer the entire green bean mixture into your prepared baking dish, using a spatula to spread it evenly across the surface.
- Slide the dish into the preheated 350F oven and bake uncovered for exactly 25 minutes, allowing the casserole to bubble and heat through.
- After 25 minutes, carefully pull out the dish and sprinkle the remaining ⅔ cup crispy onions across the top, creating a delicious crunchy layer.
- Return the casserole to the 350F oven for an additional 5 minutes, watching closely to ensure the onions turn golden brown but don’t burn.
- Remove from oven and let the casserole rest for 3-4 minutes before serving, which helps the sauce set and makes portioning easier.
Notes
- Swap cream of celery soup for cream of mushroom if your family prefers a more traditional flavor profile.
- Use fresh green beans instead of canned for a fresher taste and slightly firmer texture.
- For a gluten-free version, choose gluten-free crispy onions and check your soup label carefully.
- Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes after baking to help it set and make serving easier.
