Ingredients
Green Bean Casserole
- 2 (10.5 ounce) cans cream of mushroom soup (cream of chicken works well too)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- Black pepper, to taste
- 5 (14.5 ounce) cans green beans, drained
- 2-3 cups French fried onions (such as French's)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking the casserole evenly.
- Mix Ingredients: In a 13x9 inch baking dish, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce, black pepper, and the drained green beans. Stir gently until everything is well incorporated and evenly coated.
- Bake the Casserole: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake uncovered for 25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the casserole to heat through.
- Add Fried Onions and Finish Baking: Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the top evenly with 2 to 3 cups of French fried onions. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes to crisp the onions perfectly.
Notes
- Drain the canned green beans very well to avoid excess liquid in the casserole.
- You can substitute cream of chicken soup if preferred for a slightly different flavor.
- Adjust the amount of black pepper to suit your taste.
- For a fresher option, use steamed green beans instead of canned, but cooking times may vary.
