Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (14.5 ounce) cans cut green beans, drained
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 1/3 cups crispy fried onions
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 1.5-quart casserole dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the drained green beans, cream of mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce, and black pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.
- Pour the green bean mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the casserole from the oven. Sprinkle 1 cup of the crispy fried onions over the top.

- Remove from the oven and let it stand for 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle the remaining crispy fried onions on top just before serving.
Notes
- You can prepare this casserole up to one day ahead. Cover and refrigerate before baking. Add 5 to 10 minutes to the initial baking time if baking from cold.
- For a Southern style variation, add 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese to the bean mixture before baking.
- If you do not have fresh crispy fried onions, you can substitute with 1/2 cup crushed butter crackers mixed with 2 tablespoons melted butter for the topping.
