Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb fresh or frozen green beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 1/3 cups French-fried onions, divided
- Optional: 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese (for extra flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook the Green Beans: If using fresh green beans, blanch them in boiling water for 4-5 minutes until tender but still crisp, then drain. If using frozen green beans, thaw them according to the package instructions and drain.
- Mix the Casserole: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce, black pepper, and 2/3 cup of the French-fried onions. Stir in the cooked green beans and optional grated cheddar cheese.
- Assemble the Casserole: Pour the green bean mixture into a 9×9-inch (or similar size) baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake: Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until it is hot and bubbly.
- Add Fried Onions: After 25 minutes, sprinkle the remaining 2/3 cup of French-fried onions evenly over the top of the casserole. Return it to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the onions are golden and crispy.
- Serve: Let the casserole cool slightly before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or a dash of hot sauce to the mix.
