Campbells Green Bean Casserole

Classic green bean casserole gets a few smart tweaks for extra-crisp beans, a silkier sauce, and a perfectly golden onion topping. A quick blanch and a stovetop-melted cheddar base keep it creamy, savory, and holiday-ready.

Ingredients
 

Casserole

  • 5 cups fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
  • 10.5 ounce condensed cream of mushroom soup (one can)
  • 1/3 cup whole milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 3/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 1/4 cups crispy fried onions

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat the oven to 375°F and position a rack in the center. Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish.
  • Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook 3 to 4 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender. Drain, plunge into ice water to stop the cooking, then drain again and pat very dry so the sauce clings well.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, whisk together the condensed mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce, Worcestershire, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Warm until smooth and steaming, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup of the cheddar just until melted; remove from heat.
  • Combine the blanched beans with the warm sauce in a large bowl. Fold in 1/2 cup of the crispy fried onions. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup cheddar evenly over the surface.
  • Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Uncover, stir gently to redistribute the sauce, then scatter the remaining 3/4 cup crispy fried onions over the top. Bake 8 to 10 minutes more until bubbling and the onions are golden. For an extra-crisp finish, broil for 30 to 60 seconds, watching closely.
  • Let the casserole rest 5 minutes before serving to set the sauce.

Notes

Tip: Drying the beans thoroughly after blanching prevents a watery casserole and helps the sauce cling to every bite. Add the crispy onions only at the end to keep them from over-browning.
Leftovers keep well, covered and refrigerated, for up to 3 days. Reheat at 350°F until warmed through.
