Ingredients
Casserole
1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup (Campbell’s recommended)
½ cup whole milk
1 tsp soy sauce
¼ tsp ground black pepper
4 cups green beans (fresh, frozen, or canned; thawed or blanched if needed)
Topping
1⅓ cups crispy fried onions (French’s preferred), divided (⅔ cup for casserole, ⅓ cup for topping)
Instructions
Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (or air fryer to same temperature).
Prep Green Beans:
Frozen: Thaw and drain.
Fresh: Trim and cut into 2-inch pieces; blanch in boiling salted water for 2–3 minutes, then drain.
Canned: Drain thoroughly.
Make Cream Base: In a large bowl, whisk together mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce, and black pepper until smooth.
Mix Casserole: Gently fold in green beans and ⅔ cup of fried onions. Combine just until evenly coated—avoid overmixing to preserve onion crunch.
Assemble & Bake: Transfer mixture to a greased 9×9-inch baking dish. Bake for 25 minutes (or 10 minutes in air fryer), until bubbling.
Add Topping & Finish Baking: Stir gently, then top with remaining ⅓ cup fried onions. Return to oven for 5 more minutes (or 2 minutes in air fryer) until topping is golden and crispy.
Serve: Let sit for a few minutes before serving warm.
Notes
Whole milk gives the creamiest texture—avoid skim milk for best results.
Soy sauce enhances the umami flavor without making it overly salty.
To make ahead: Prepare casserole (without topping), cover, and refrigerate. Bake as directed, adding onions just before final bake.
For a twist, add sautéed mushrooms or a pinch of garlic powder to the sauce.
