A classic and creamy green bean casserole made with tender green beans, savory cream of mushroom soup, and topped with crispy fried onions for the perfect holiday side dish.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • ¾ cup whole milk
  • ½ teaspoon soy sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Vegetables

  • 2 cans (14.5 oz each) green beans, drained

Topping

  • 1 ½ cups French’s crispy fried onions, divided

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup with whole milk and whisk until smooth. Add the soy sauce and black pepper and stir to combine well.
  2. Add green beans: Drain the green beans thoroughly and add them to the sauce mixture. Stir until the green beans are fully coated with the creamy sauce.
  3. Mix in crispy onions: Fold in ½ cup of the French’s crispy fried onions gently into the green bean mixture to distribute them evenly.
  4. Bake the casserole: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the green bean mixture into a casserole dish and bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
  5. Stir and add topping: Remove the casserole from the oven and stir to ensure even cooking. Then sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of crispy fried onions evenly over the top.
  6. Final bake: Return the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the fried onions on top are golden brown and crispy.

Notes

  • Any style of green beans can be used; French cut is preferred for its tender texture.
  • The casserole can be made ahead and frozen. Assemble as directed but omit the topping fried onions.
  • Wrap the dish tightly with plastic wrap and then cover with aluminum foil before freezing for up to two weeks.
  • To serve, thaw the casserole in the refrigerator overnight, bake according to instructions, then add and bake with the fried onions topping fresh.
