Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 1 can (10.5 oz) Campbell's Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup

  • 1/2 cup milk

  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce

  • 4 cups cooked cut green beans (or 2 cans, 14.5 oz each, drained)

  • 1 1/3 cups crispy French-fried onions, divided

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven. Heat your oven to 350°F.

  2. Combine the ingredients. In a 1½-quart oven-safe casserole dish, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce, green beans, and 2/3 cup of the crispy fried onions. Stir gently until everything is evenly mixed.

  3. Season. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Remember that the soup and fried onions already contain salt, so season lightly.

  4. Bake. Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 25 minutes, or until the mixture is hot and bubbling around the edges.

  5. Add the crispy topping. Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 2/3 cup of French-fried onions evenly over the top.

  6. Finish baking. Return the casserole to the oven for another 5 minutes, or until the onions are golden brown and crispy.

  7. Rest and serve. Allow the casserole to rest for a few minutes before serving. This gives the casserole time to settle and the flavors to come together.

Can You Make Green Bean Casserole Ahead of Time?

Absolutely! One of the best things about this casserole is how easy it is to prepare ahead of time, especially when you're cooking a big holiday meal.

Simply mix the soup, milk, soy sauce, green beans, and the first 2/3 cup of fried onions together in your casserole dish. Cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

When you're ready to bake, remove the casserole from the refrigerator while the oven preheats. Bake at 350°F until hot and bubbling, allowing a little extra time if the casserole is still cold. Add the remaining fried onions during the final five minutes of baking.
