			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

- 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.
