Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (15 ounce) cans cut green beans, drained – adds tender texture and color
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup – provides creamy, savory base
- 3/4 cup milk – thins the soup for smooth, creamy consistency
- 1 (2.8 ounce) can French fried onions – adds crispy texture and savory onion flavor
- Salt and pepper to taste – enhances all flavors
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and gather all ingredients.
- In a medium casserole dish, mix the drained green beans, cream of mushroom soup, milk, and half of the fried onions until well combined.
- Bake for about 25 minutes, or until hot and bubbly around the edges.
- Sprinkle the remaining fried onions evenly on top.
- Return to the oven for 5 more minutes to crisp the topping.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve hot.
Notes
- Add the fried onions on top during the last 5 minutes to keep them crispy.
- Fresh green beans can be used for added texture — blanch them before mixing.
- Make-ahead friendly — assemble without final onion topping and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
- For a richer flavor, stir in shredded cheddar cheese or sautéed garlic mushrooms.
