Ingredients
 

  • 2⅔ cups fried onions (divided into 2 equal portions)
  • 56 oz green beans (drained)
  • 21.5 oz condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoon soy sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

(Note: 2x or 3x only changes the ingredient list)

Instructions
 

  • To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 3-quart casserole dish.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add half of your fried onions, green beans, cream of mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce, and black pepper. Stir until everything is well-distributed.
  • Pour the mixture into your prepared 3-quart casserole dish. Bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25 minutes.
  • Remove the casserole from the oven and stir it. Then, sprinkle the remaining fried onions on top.
  • Place the casserole back into the oven and bake it for 5 more minutes. Remove from the oven when done and serve while warm.

Notes

  • For this recipe, you can use two 28-ounce cans of green beans.
  • 21.5 ounces is equivalent to two 10.75-ounce cans of Cambell's cream of mushroom soup (or the reduced-fat version). 
  • If using fresh green beans, trim the green beans and cut them in half then add to a pot of boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Immediately drain the blanched green beans and transfer them into a bowl of iced water. Drain them again and use them as directed in the recipe. 
  • To store: Keep your green bean casserole covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • To freeze: Prepare your casserole as directed, but do not bake it yet (or add on the topping). Cover the casserole and store it in the freezer. When ready, bake it from frozen, and add the topping after it has been in the oven for 20 minutes. *The green bean casserole will need to be baked longer due to being frozen.
  • To reheat: For small, individual portions, you can reheat your casserole in the microwave. Alternatively, you can put it back in the oven until heated to your liking.
