A comforting and crowd-pleasing dish featuring tender green beans, creamy mushroom sauce, and crispy fried onions, perfect for holidays or family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
  • 1 cup (120 g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup (70 g) French fried onions
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Splash of Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the green beans by trimming off the ends and cutting them into bite-sized pieces. If using frozen green beans, thaw them beforehand.
  3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch them for 3-4 minutes, then drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk until smooth.
  5. Add the blanched green beans to the mixing bowl and stir until they are evenly coated with the creamy mixture.
  6. Grease your 9×13-inch casserole dish with butter or cooking spray. Pour the green bean mixture into the dish and spread it out evenly.
  7. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the green beans.
  8. Top the casserole with French fried onions, spreading them evenly across the surface.
  9. Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbly.
  10. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

[‘Blanch the green beans to retain their vibrant color and tender-crisp texture.’, ‘Drain the green beans well after blanching to avoid a watery casserole.’, ‘Customize the recipe with additional ingredients like bacon bits, sautéed mushrooms, or different types of cheese.’, ‘Assemble the casserole ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to bake.’]
