Recipe Ingredients:
- 2 (15 ounce) cans cut green beans, drained
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 (2.8 ounce) can French fried onions
- salt and pepper to taste
How To Make Green Bean Casserole?
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
- Prepare the casserole mix: In a medium casserole dish, mix together the green beans, condensed cream of mushroom soup, milk, and half of the French fried onions until well combined.
- Bake the casserole: Place the casserole dish in the oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the mixture is bubbling and heated through.
- Add the crispy topping: Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the remaining French fried onions evenly over the top.
- Finish baking: Return the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the onions are golden and crispy.
- Season and serve: Add salt and pepper to taste, then serve immediately while hot.
Recipe Tips:
- Drain the Green Beans Completely: Make sure to drain the canned green beans well to avoid excess liquid, which can make the casserole too runny.
- Mix Ingredients Thoroughly: Combine the soup, milk, and green beans evenly to ensure every bite is creamy and flavorful.
- Don’t Overbake: Keep an eye on the baking time; overbaking can dry out the casserole or burn the onions.
- Use Fresh Onions for Extra Crunch: If you have time, lightly fry thinly sliced onions for a fresher, crispier topping.
- Season to Taste: Add a touch of garlic powder, paprika, or even a dash of soy sauce for extra depth in flavor before baking.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: Let the leftover Green Bean Casserole cool to room temperature. Transfer it to an airtight container or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Allow the casserole to cool completely, then place it in a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 2 months.
- Reheat: Transfer a portion to a microwave-safe dish, cover loosely, and heat on medium power for 2-3 minutes, stirring halfway to ensure even heating.
