Ingredients
Scale
Green Bean Casserole
- 3 (10.5 oz) cans Campbell’s® Cream of Mushroom Soup
- 3 (15.5 oz) cans cut green beans, drained
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 (6 oz) containers French’s Crispy Fried Onions, divided
Instructions
- Preheat & Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9×13-inch baking pan or casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking. Set aside.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, drained green beans, milk, and one 6 oz container of French’s crispy fried onions. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Assemble Casserole: Pour the green bean mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Then, top the mixture with the remaining container of crispy fried onions to add a crunchy texture.
- Bake: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Bake until the edges are beginning to brown and the casserole is bubbly, indicating it’s heated through.
- Rest & Serve: Remove from the oven and let the casserole sit for about 10 minutes. This resting time helps the casserole to set and makes serving easier. Enjoy warm.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of crispy fried onions to your preference; using all the onions gives it extra crunch and flavor.
- This recipe can be halved and baked in a 2-quart or 8-inch square baking dish for smaller servings.
- Make-ahead tip: Prepare the casserole up to 48 hours in advance and keep covered in the refrigerator. Add the fried onion topping just before baking for best texture.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to four days.
- To reheat, microwave an individual portion for 45 seconds to 1 minute or reheat the whole dish in the oven until warm.
- You can freeze the assembled casserole (without the topping) wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and foil for up to three months. Thaw in the fridge overnight, add the topping, and bake, adding 5 to 10 extra minutes to the baking time. Avoid freezing the baked casserole because the fried onions can become soggy.
