Main Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh green beans, rinsed and blanched (or 2 cans drained green beans)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 1/3 cups French fried onions
Optional Add-Ins
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Parmesan cheese
- 1–2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2–3 tablespoons cooked crispy bacon bits
- Fresh herbs (thyme or rosemary) to taste
- For vegan option: plant-based cream of mushroom soup, dairy-free milk, toasted breadcrumbs instead of onions
- Nutty topping option: chopped pecans or almonds to replace fried onions
- Preheat and Prepare: Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Rinse fresh green beans or drain canned ones. If using fresh, blanch them briefly until tender-crisp, then drain well.
- Mix the Base: In a large bowl, combine Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup, milk, salt, and pepper. Stir well until smooth and creamy.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the prepared green beans to the sauce mixture. Gently fold to coat all beans evenly without breaking them.
- Assemble the Casserole: Grease a baking dish and transfer the green bean mixture into it, spreading it out evenly for uniform cooking.
- Bake and Add Toppings: Bake uncovered for 25 minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle French fried onions evenly over the top, then return to oven and bake another 5 to 10 minutes until the onions are golden and crispy.
Notes
- Use fresh or properly drained green beans to avoid sogginess.
- Fold ingredients gently to maintain bean texture.
- Add garlic powder or nutmeg to the sauce for extra flavor.
- Toast fried onions or mix with panko breadcrumbs for crunchier topping.
- Cover casserole during the first part of baking to retain moisture if desired.
- Assemble up to one day ahead and refrigerate before baking.
- Freeze without fried onions up to 2 months; add onions fresh after reheating.
