Ingredients

Scale

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
  • 12 cloves garlic, minced
  • 23 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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Mix the Base: In a large bowl, combine Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup, milk, salt, and pepper. Stir well until smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the prepared green beans to the sauce mixture. Gently fold to coat all beans evenly without breaking them.
  4. Assemble the Casserole: Grease a baking dish and transfer the green bean mixture into it, spreading it out evenly for uniform cooking.
  5. 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.
