This recipe delivers the comforting, creamy flavor of a classic green bean casserole using simple ingredients, perfect for your Thanksgiving or Christmas side dish rotation.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 (14.5 ounce) cans cut green beans, drained
  • 1 1/3 cups crispy fried onions, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 1.5-quart casserole dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth.
  3. Stir in the salt and pepper.
  4. Add the drained green beans and 2/3 cup of the crispy fried onions to the soup mixture. Mix gently to coat everything evenly.
  5. Pour the mixture into your prepared casserole dish.
  6. Bake for 25 minutes.
  7. Remove the casserole from the oven. Sprinkle the remaining 2/3 cup of crispy fried onions over the top.
  8. Return the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
  9. Let the dish stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can prepare this entire casserole, up to the final baking step, up to one day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Add 10 minutes to the initial covered baking time if baking straight from the refrigerator.
  • For a Southern Green Bean Casserole variation, stir 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese into the bean mixture before baking.
  • If you do not have canned beans, you can substitute 1 pound of fresh or frozen green beans, blanched until tender-crisp.
