Ingredients

Scale

Green Beans

  • Fresh or canned cut green beans, about 4 cups (fresh preferred for best texture)

Base Sauce

  • 1 can (10.5 oz) Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom Soup
  • 3/4 cup milk (or coconut/almond milk for dairy-free version)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Toppings and Add-ins (optional)

  • 1 1/3 cups fried onions (traditional topping)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Optional mix-ins: fresh sliced mushrooms, cooked bacon bits, or panko breadcrumbs with melted butter for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If using fresh green beans, blanch them in boiling water for 3-4 minutes, then drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.
  2. Mix the Base: In a large bowl, combine the Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup with milk. Stir until smooth and well blended, creating a creamy sauce that will envelope the green beans.
  3. Combine Green Beans and Sauce: Add the green beans to the soup mixture and gently fold to coat each bean evenly. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste.
  4. Assemble the Casserole: Pour the green bean and soup mixture into a greased casserole dish. If using cheese, sprinkle a layer of shredded cheddar or Parmesan on top before adding the crunchy topping.
  5. Add the Crispy Topping: Spread a generous layer of fried onions evenly over the casserole. These will bake to a golden-brown crisp, adding irresistible texture.
  6. Bake Until Bubbly: Bake uncovered for about 25-30 minutes or until the casserole is bubbly and the fried onions are golden brown. Let it cool slightly before serving to set perfectly.

Notes

  • Use fresh green beans for best texture and vibrant color.
  • Do not skip the fried onion topping; it provides iconic crunch and flavor.
  • Season the sauce before baking, but salt fried onions just before serving to avoid sogginess.
  • Stir the casserole gently halfway through baking (about 15 minutes in) for even heat distribution and to prevent drying.
  • Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to help it set for easier serving.
  • To make dairy-free, substitute milk with coconut milk and use dairy-free fried onions.
  • This casserole can be prepared ahead of time; assemble and refrigerate, then add fried onions and bake when ready to serve.
  • For gluten-free, use gluten-free soup and toppings.
