Equipment

Ingredients

  • (2) 14.5 ounce canned green beans drained
  • (2) 10.5 ounce can of cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup milk
  • 6 ounces French’s Original Crispy Fried Onions about 3 cups
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • In a 13x9 casserole dish, combine cream of mushroom soup, milk, salt, and pepper. Mix together until well blended.
  • Add green beans and about 1/2 cup of the fried onions and mix the casserole together until everything has been well combined. 
  • Bake the casserole for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the casserole from the oven and carefully stir the mixture around.
  • Then, spread the remaining fried onions and return the casserole back to the oven for 5-8 minutes, or until the onions on top are a beautiful golden brown. 
  • Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Canned green beans like Del Monte or Libby work best for this recipe.
  • Use a rubber spatula or a good spoon to stir since the mixture is thick.
  • Stir the casserole after baking for the first 30 minutes.
  • Spread the fried onions in an even layer over the casserole.
  • Watch the casserole closely during the last few minutes after adding the fried onions on top so they get golden brown without burning!
  • Make the casserole ahead of time by adding all of the ingredients in the casserole dish except the final fried onions topping. Refrigerate it and cover it until ready to bake then follow directions as normal.
  • Store leftovers either covered in the original baking dish or in an airtight container in the fridge. Any extras will stay fresh for up to 5 days.
  • To freeze leftovers, store them in a freezer safe container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
