Ingredients

Casserole Mixture

2 cans 14.5 ounces each green beans, drained Canned green beans can be replaced with fresh, blanched green beans.
1 can 10.5 ounces condensed cream of mushroom soup Can use vegan-friendly version if desired.
1/2 cup milk Use plant-based milk for a vegan option.
1 teaspoon soy sauce Tamari sauce can be used for a gluten-free option.
1 dash ground black pepper

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a 1.5-quart casserole dish, stir together the condensed cream of mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth.
Fold in the drained green beans and 2/3 cup of the crispy fried onions. Stir gently to coat the beans evenly.

Baking

Place the dish in the oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the bean mixture is hot and bubbling around the edges.
Remove the dish from the oven and give the mixture a quick stir.
Sprinkle the remaining 2/3 cup of crispy fried onions over the top of the casserole.
Bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the onions turn a beautiful golden brown.
Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

For a cheesy flavor, sprinkle shredded cheese on top before the final baking step. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3 to 4 days.
