Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 20 oz frozen cut green beans, thawed
  • 10.5 oz condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 0.75 cup milk
  • 1.25 tsp soy sauce
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder optional
  • 1.5 cup crispy fried onions divided
  • 0.75 cup shredded cheddar cheese optional, for a cheesy finish
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted optional

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.
