A classic and comforting Green Bean Casserole made with tender green beans, creamy mushroom soup, and crispy fried onions baked to golden perfection. This easy-to-make side dish is perfect for holiday meals or anytime you crave a savory, creamy vegetable dish with a crunchy topping.
Ingredients
Soup Mixture
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup (10.5 oz)
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Main Ingredients
- 2 cans green beans, drained (14.5 oz each)
- 1 1/2 cup French's crispy fried onions (divided)
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup and whole milk. Whisk thoroughly until smooth. Then add the soy sauce and black pepper, stirring to incorporate evenly.
- Add Green Beans: Pour the drained green beans into the soup mixture and stir gently to coat all the beans evenly with the creamy sauce.
- Mix in Onions: Fold in 1/2 cup of the French's crispy fried onions into the green bean mixture to add some savory crunch throughout the casserole.
- Bake Initial Layer: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and bake for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the casserole to heat through.
- Top and Finish Baking: Remove the casserole from the oven, stir gently, then sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of crispy fried onions evenly on top. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the onions are golden brown and crispy.
Notes
- For a lower sodium version, opt for low-sodium cream of mushroom soup and reduce or omit the soy sauce.
- Fresh or frozen green beans can be used; if using fresh, blanch them beforehand for best texture.
- To add extra flavor, consider adding a small amount of garlic powder or chopped mushrooms.
- This casserole can be prepared a day ahead and baked just before serving.
