Instructions
Preparation Steps
Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish.
Whisk soup, milk, soy sauce, pepper, salt, and garlic powder in a large bowl.
Fold in green beans, 1 cup fried onions, and the cheddar if using.
Spread mixture in the dish. Cover and bake 20 minutes until hot and bubbling at edges.
Stir, then top with remaining onions. Drizzle melted butter over the top if using.
Bake uncovered 8–10 minutes until the topping is deeply golden. Rest 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Variation: Swap in blanched fresh green beans for extra snap, or add sautéed mushrooms for more earthy flavor. Make-ahead: Assemble up to 1 day in advance without the topping; refrigerate, then bake and add onions just before finishing. Leftovers reheat well at 350°F for 10–12 minutes.This recipe is an original creation inspired by classic Easy Green Bean Casserole Recipe flavors.
