Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 4 cups cut green beans (two 15–16 oz cans, 1 lb frozen, or 1½ lbs fresh)
Sauce
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- ¼ tsp black pepper, or to taste
Topping
- 1⅓ cups crispy French fried onions, divided
Instructions
- Prepare the Green Beans: If using fresh green beans, wash, trim, and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Blanch in boiling water for 2 minutes, then drain. For canned beans, simply drain well; for frozen, thaw before using.
- Make the Sauce and Combine: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of mushroom soup, milk, and soy sauce until smooth. Stir in the green beans, half of the crispy French fried onions (about ⅔ cup), and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Assemble the Casserole: Lightly coat a 9×9-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Spread the green bean mixture evenly inside the dish, ensuring everything is well distributed.
- Cook the Casserole: For the air fryer method, bake at 350°F for 10 minutes. Stir the mixture, then sprinkle the remaining crispy onions over the top and air fry for another 2 minutes, just until the onions turn golden and crispy. For the oven method, bake at 350°F for 25 minutes. Stir, then add the remaining onions on top and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the topping is crispy and browned.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve warm. This delicious, creamy casserole makes a great side dish for any main course.
Notes
- You can use fresh, frozen, or canned green beans depending on availability and preference.
- Adjust black pepper to taste for mild or more peppery flavor.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with a plant-based milk and use a dairy-free cream of mushroom soup.
- To make the casserole ahead, assemble and refrigerate before baking; add a few extra minutes to baking time if baking straight from the fridge.
- For extra crispiness, consider broiling for 1-2 minutes after baking, but watch carefully to avoid burning.
