Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 0.75 cup milk
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 0.125 tsp black pepper
  • 2 can (14.5 oz) cut green beans drained
  • 2 cup French-fried onions divided

Equipment

  • 1 1 1/2-quart casserole dish

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Lightly grease a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish.
  3. In a large bowl, stir together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce, and black pepper until smooth.
  4. Fold in the green beans and 1 1/3 cups of the French-fried onions.
  5. Spread the mixture in the prepared dish.
  6. Bake for 25 minutes, until hot and bubbling around the edges.
  7. Stir the casserole.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining 2/3 cup French-fried onions evenly over the top.
  9. Bake for 5 minutes, until the onions are golden.

Notes

For the crispest topping, add the remaining onions only for the final bake. Refrigerate leftovers for 3–4 days; freezing is not recommended because the creamy sauce and onions can lose their texture. For a dairy-free variation, use dairy-free milk and a dairy-free condensed mushroom soup.
