Green Bean Casserole Ingredients
- 2 (15 ounce) cans cut green beans, drained
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 0.75 cup milk
- 1 (2.8 ounce) can French fried onions, divided
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the casserole.
- Mix Ingredients: 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 to evenly distribute all components.
- Bake Casserole: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake until the mixture is heated through and bubbly, approximately 25 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the casserole to develop a rich, creamy texture.
- Add Topping and Finish Baking: Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the remaining French fried onions evenly on top. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes to crisp up the onion topping.
- Season and Serve: Remove from oven, season with salt and pepper to taste, and let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps it set slightly for easier serving and enhances the flavor.
Notes
- This green bean casserole uses canned green beans, condensed mushroom soup, and crispy French-fried onions to create a classic holiday favorite!
- For a fresher twist, substitute fresh green beans steamed until tender.
- You can add a bit of garlic powder or Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor depth.
- Make sure to drain canned green beans well to avoid a watery casserole.
