Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup (10.5 oz)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 4 cups cut green beans (from 2 cans, 1 lb fresh, or one 16 oz frozen package)
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 1/3 cups crispy french fried onions, divided
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This prepares the baking dish for cooking the casserole evenly.
- Mix Soup Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the condensed cream of mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce, and ground black pepper. Stir well to create a smooth, flavorful base for the casserole.
- Add Green Beans: Fold in the cut green beans to the soup mixture, ensuring each piece is well coated with the creamy mixture.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the green bean mixture into a baking dish and spread evenly for uniform cooking and topping coverage.
- Add Topping: Sprinkle the crispy French fried onions evenly over the top of the green bean mixture to add texture and crunch once baked.
- Bake: Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the mixture is bubbly and the topping turns golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the casserole to cool briefly before serving to let it set and to avoid burns while eating.
Notes
- For a fresher taste, use fresh green beans blanched in boiling water for 3-4 minutes before mixing.
- You can substitute the cream of mushroom soup with a homemade white sauce for a less processed option.
- To make it gluten-free, opt for gluten-free crispy fried onions or omit the topping.
- Adding a little shredded cheddar cheese on top before adding the fried onions can enhance flavor.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated in the oven.
