Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 can (10 ¾ oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 ½ cups crispy fried onions
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Topping

  • ½ cup crispy fried onions

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and get ready to elevate your veggie game.

Step 2: Prepare the Green Beans

In a large pot, bring water to a boil and cook the green beans until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and spread them out in a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 3: Sauté the Mushrooms

In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the mushrooms until golden brown. Add them to the green beans and mix in the cream of mushroom soup, milk, crispy fried onions, cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper.

Step 4: Combine Ingredients

Stir everything together until well combined, ensuring every green bean gets some love.

Step 5: Add Toppings

Sprinkle the casserole with the reserved crispy fried onions and cheddar cheese for that extra yum factor.

Step 6: Bake the Casserole

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the casserole is bubbly. Enjoy!

Notes

Tip 1: Green Bean Freshness

For the best flavor and texture, opt for fresh green beans rather than canned ones.

Tip 2: Cheese Variations

Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as gouda or pepper jack, for a unique twist on the casserole.

Tip 3: Make Ahead

This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. Just bake it when you’re ready to serve.

Tip 4: Leftovers

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days; reheat in the oven for best results.
