Ingrédients
  

Green Beans & Veggies
  • 4 cups fresh green beans, trimmed and cut (or frozen/thawed or drained canned green beans)
Creamy Base & Flavor
  • 1 can (≈10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • salt and black pepper, to taste

Équipement

  • Baking dish (approx. 8×8 inch or 9×13 inch)
  • Mixing bowl

Préparation
 

  1. Preheat oven to 175 °C (≈350 °F).
  2. If using fresh green beans: blanch them in boiling water for about 5 minutes until tender-crisp; then drain. (If using canned/frozen beans, just make sure they are drained/thawed.)
  3. In a mixing bowl, stir together the condensed cream-of-mushroom soup, milk, salt and pepper until smooth. Then add the green beans and mix until beans are evenly coated.
  4. Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish and spread evenly.
  5. Sprinkle a generous layer of crispy fried onions on top (optionally reserving some to add mid-bake) and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly and onions are golden brown.
  6. Remove from oven and let sit a few minutes before serving. Serve warm as a side dish.
