Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed and halved
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/3 cups crispy fried onions (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step lets the oven heat evenly for a well-cooked casserole.
  • Boil the green beans. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil, then add the fresh green beans. Cook for 5 minutes until they’re bright green and just tender but still have that little bite. Drain and immediately transfer to an ice bath or run under cold water to stop cooking and keep that gorgeous color.
  • Mix the creamy sauce. In a large bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, whole milk, soy sauce, black pepper, and butter. Stir until smooth. If the mixture looks a little curdled, don’t panic; it’s just the butter not fully incorporated yet. Keep mixing it until smooth.
  • Assemble the casserole. Fold the cooled green beans into the creamy sauce mixture gently but thoroughly to coat every piece.
  • Transfer to a baking dish. Use a 9×13-inch dish to give the casserole enough room to bake evenly. Spread the green bean mixture evenly and sprinkle the crispy fried onions on top.
  • Bake for 25 minutes. This melts everything together and lets the onions get golden and crunchy, creating that irresistible topping that folks fight over.
  • Serve warm. Let the casserole rest for a couple of minutes out of the oven to cool slightly and set up before digging in.
