Ingredients
Green Beans
- 59 ounces canned green beans (4 cans, drained; add one more can if desired)
Sauce
- 21 ounces cream of mushroom soup (2 cans, 10.5 ounces each)
- 2/3 cup evaporated milk
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Topping
- 2 cups fried onions
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a baking dish by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Green Beans: Open the cans of green beans and drain them well to remove excess liquid. Place the drained green beans evenly into the prepared casserole dish.
- Make the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the evaporated milk and cream of mushroom soup until smooth. Add the soy sauce and black pepper, mixing thoroughly to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
- Combine: Pour the creamy mushroom sauce over the green beans in the casserole dish, ensuring an even spread.
- Add Topping: Sprinkle the 2 cups of French fried onions evenly over the top of the casserole for a crunchy texture.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 20 minutes, allowing the sauce to bubble and the onions to crisp up.
- Rest: Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to stand for 10 minutes before serving. This helps the dish set and cool to the perfect temperature for enjoying.
Notes
- For extra creaminess, you can add one additional can of green beans if desired.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce salt content if preferred.
- Fresh green beans can be used as a substitute for canned; blanch them before using in the recipe.
- For a gluten-free option, ensure the fried onions are gluten-free or use crushed gluten-free crispy onions.
- Make ahead: Prepare the casserole up to an hour before baking, cover with foil, and refrigerate until ready to bake.
