Ingredients
Green Bean Casserole Ingredients
- 2 (15-ounce) cans cut green beans, drained
- 1 (10.5-ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 (2.8-ounce) can French fried onions
- Salt, to taste
- Ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the necessary ingredients and preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) to ensure it reaches the proper temperature for baking.
- Mix Casserole Base: In a 1.5-quart casserole dish, combine the drained green beans, condensed cream of mushroom soup, milk, and half of the French fried onions. Stir gently until evenly mixed.
- Bake the Casserole: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the mixture is heated through and bubbling around the edges.
- Add Topping and Finish Baking: Remove the casserole from the oven, sprinkle the remaining French fried onions evenly on top, then return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes to crisp the onions.
- Season and Serve: Take the casserole out and season with salt and ground black pepper to your taste. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and the casserole to set.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh or frozen green beans if you prefer, but adjust cooking time accordingly.
- For a richer flavor, use whole milk or add a splash of cream instead of regular milk.
- French fried onions add a traditional crispy topping; for a healthier option, consider toasted breadcrumbs or nuts.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
- Season to taste after baking to avoid over-salting due to the soup and onions' sodium content.
