Casserole Ingredients

  • 1 can (30 oz) cut green beans, drained
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Can substitute other cheeses like mozzarella or pepper jack
  • 1 cup crispy fried onions For topping
  • to taste Salt and pepper

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large bowl, mix together the green beans, cream of mushroom soup, milk, and cheddar cheese.
  • Season with salt and pepper, then pour into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.

Baking

  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the mixture is hot and bubbling.
  • Remove from the oven, sprinkle the crispy fried onions on top, and return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the onions are golden brown.
  • Serve warm.

Notes

Best served warm. Pairs well with roasted meats and can be a light lunch with bread. To store leftovers, keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days or freeze for 2-3 months. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C). For added flavor, sauté some garlic or onions before mixing. Consider adding crispy bacon bits or using fresh green beans (blanch them first).
