Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • Fresh or Frozen Green Beans (about 1 lb, trimmed and blanched if fresh)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom Soup
  • 1/2 cup Milk or Cream
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups French Fried Onions (for topping)
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Optional: Garlic powder or onion powder (1/4 tsp each)

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/2 to 1 cup shredded Cheddar or Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika (for a spicy kick)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Green Beans: If using fresh green beans, trim the ends and blanch them in boiling water for 3 to 4 minutes until just tender but still crisp. Drain immediately and set aside. If using frozen green beans, thaw and drain before use.
  2. Mix the Base: In a large bowl, combine one can of Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom Soup with about half a cup of milk or cream. Stir well to create a creamy sauce. Season with salt, pepper, and optional garlic or onion powder to taste.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the prepared green beans to the soup mixture and gently fold until everything is evenly coated. If using cheese or extra ingredients like fresh mushrooms or spices, mix them in now.
  4. Assemble in Baking Dish: Transfer the green bean mixture into a greased casserole dish and spread it evenly. Sprinkle a generous layer of French fried onions on top for the signature crunchy finish.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Bake the casserole uncovered at 350°F (175°C) for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly around the edges. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Blanch green beans briefly to lock in vibrant color and crisp texture.
  • Gently fold ingredients to avoid crushing green beans and maintain texture.
  • Add fresh sautéed onions inside the casserole for sweetness but keep fried onions as the crispy topping.
  • Bake just until bubbly and golden to prevent drying out.
  • For extra crunch, add more fried onions halfway through baking.
