Ingredients

Scale

Green Bean Casserole

  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) Campbell’s® Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup or Unsalted Cream of Mushroom Soup or Cream of Celery Soup
  • 1/2 cup 2% milk
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 4 cups cooked cut green beans (about 1 1/2 pounds fresh green beans, blanched or equivalent frozen or canned beans, drained)
  • 1 1/3 cups French’s® French Fried Onions (divided)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Green Beans: If using fresh green beans, trim and blanch them by boiling for 2-4 minutes until crisp-tender, then immediately plunge into ice water to preserve color and stop cooking. Alternatively, use thawed frozen green beans or canned beans, drained.
  2. Mix Ingredients: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a 1 1/2-quart oven-safe casserole dish, combine the condensed soup, milk, soy sauce, cooked green beans, and 2/3 cup of the French fried onions. Stir gently until all ingredients are well incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Bake Initial Layer: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the mixture is hot and bubbling. After baking, remove from oven and stir the bean mixture to combine evenly.
  4. Add Topping and Finish Baking: Sprinkle the remaining 2/3 cup of French fried onions evenly over the top of the casserole. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the onions are golden brown and crispy.
  5. Rest and Serve: Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and the dish to settle. Store any leftovers in an oven-safe dish for easy reheating.

Notes

  • For best color and texture, blanch fresh green beans rather than overcooking them.
  • You can substitute Cream of Celery Soup if preferred for a slightly different flavor.
  • The recipe can be made ahead and baked just before serving for convenience.
  • Leftover casserole reheats well in the oven or microwave.
