Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 cups fresh or frozen green beans (trimmed and washed)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 1/3 cups crispy fried onions
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare your green beans: Trim and wash fresh green beans or thaw frozen ones. Blanch the beans in boiling water for about 5 minutes until tender-crisp, then drain and set aside to cool slightly. This keeps the beans bright and maintains a great texture.
  2. Mix the creamy base: In a large bowl, combine Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup with milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth to create a luscious sauce that will coat the green beans perfectly.
  3. Combine ingredients: Add the blanched green beans to the soup mixture. Stir gently to evenly coat every bite. Pour the mixture into a greased casserole dish, spreading it out evenly for consistent baking.
  4. Add topping and bake: Sprinkle fried onions generously over the top of the casserole. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25 to 30 minutes, until bubbly and golden brown. The topping becomes crisp, creating a perfect contrast to the creamy center.

Notes

  • Use fresh or high-quality frozen beans for best color and texture.
  • Don’t skip blanching; it maintains texture and reduces bake time.
  • Mix soup and milk well to avoid lumps for a smooth sauce.
  • Reserve some fried onions to add midway through baking for extra crispiness.
  • Let casserole rest a few minutes before serving for better slicing and enhanced flavors.
