Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 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 Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 1.5-quart casserole dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce, and black pepper until smooth.
  3. Stir in the drained green beans and 1/2 cup of the crispy fried onions into the soup mixture. Mix until everything is coated well.
  4. Pour the mixture into your prepared casserole dish.
  5. Bake for 25 minutes.
  6. Remove the casserole from the oven. Sprinkle the remaining 3/4 cup of crispy fried onions evenly over the top.
  7. Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
  8. Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before you serve it.

Notes

  • You can prepare this entire casserole ahead of time. Assemble everything except the final topping, cover it, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, add 10 minutes to the initial baking time.
  • For a Southern green bean casserole twist, stir in 1/2 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese with the green beans.
  • If you want a homemade green bean casserole flavor, you can substitute the canned soup with a homemade mushroom sauce.
