Ingredients
Scale
1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (14.5 ounce) can cut green beans, drained
1 (6 ounce) can crispy fried onions, divided
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the condensed cream of mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce, and black pepper. Stir until well blended.
Add the drained green beans to the soup mixture and stir to coat them evenly.
Pour the green bean mixture into a 1.5-quart baking dish.
Bake for 20 minutes.
Remove the casserole from the oven and stir.
Top the casserole with half of the crispy fried onions.
Return to the oven and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly and the onions are golden brown.
Top with the remaining crispy fried onions just before serving.
Notes
For a make-ahead option, prepare the casserole up to the point of adding the onions. Cover and refrigerate. When ready to bake, let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes, then top with onions and bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time if needed.
You can use fresh green beans, but you will need to blanch them first. For canned beans, ensure they are well-drained to avoid a watery casserole.
This recipe can be doubled for larger gatherings. Use a 9×13 inch baking dish for a double batch.
