Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 cups green beans (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1 10.5 ounces (298 grams) condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1.13 cups French’s Crispy Fried Onions
Liquid Ingredients:
- ¾ cup milk
Seasoning:
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by setting the temperature to a moderate 350°F (175°C), ensuring an even cooking atmosphere for the casserole.
- In a spacious casserole vessel, create a harmonious blend by gently folding the creamy mushroom soup with smooth milk and a whisper of pepper, generating a rich, velvety base for the green beans.
- Incorporate the tender green beans into the soup mixture, stirring carefully to ensure each vegetable is lavishly coated with the savory sauce, then generously disperse two-thirds of the crispy fried onions throughout the mixture.
- Transfer the casserole into the preheated oven and allow it to transform for approximately 30 minutes, watching for the telltale signs of bubbling edges and heated center that indicate perfect doneness.
- Once the initial baking phase is complete, delicately stir the casserole to redistribute the ingredients and create an even temperature throughout the dish.
- Crown the casserole with the remaining crispy fried onions, spreading them evenly across the surface to create a golden, crunchy topping that will provide a delightful textural contrast to the creamy underneath.
Notes
- Choose fresh or frozen green beans for the best texture and flavor in your casserole.
- Avoid overcooking green beans to maintain their crisp and vibrant green color during baking.
- Swap regular milk with unsweetened almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version that’s just as creamy.
- Add a handful of shredded cheese or crispy bacon bits between layers for extra richness and depth of flavor.
