Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup (10.5 oz)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 4 cups cut green beans (from 2 cans, 1 lb fresh, or one 16 oz frozen package)
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 1/3 cups crispy french fried onions, divided
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your casserole bakes evenly and gets that perfect golden-brown top.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 can of condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 cup of milk, and 1 teaspoon of soy sauce. Stir until smooth and well combined, avoiding any lumps.
- Add 4 cups of cut green beans to the soup mixture. If using canned beans, make sure they are well-drained. Gently fold the beans into the mixture until they are fully coated.
- Sprinkle in 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper and fold it in gently. This adds a subtle warmth to the dish without overpowering the other flavors.
- Transfer the green bean mixture into a greased 1.5-quart casserole dish. Spread it out evenly with a spatula for consistent cooking.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of crispy French fried onions over the top of the green bean mixture. This will create a crunchy layer that everyone loves.
- Bake the casserole in your preheated oven for 30 minutes. You'll know it's ready when the edges are bubbly and the top is lightly golden.
- Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 1/3 cup of French fried onions on top. Return it to the oven for an additional 5 minutes until the onions are crispy and golden.
- Let the casserole sit for about 5 minutes before serving. This helps it set and makes it easier to serve without falling apart.
