GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE

3. Make the Sauce…

In a large mixing bowl, combine the condensed cream of mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce, and ground black pepper. Stir until well blended.

Add the cooked green beans to the bowl with the sauce mixture and stir to coat the beans evenly.
Stir in 2/3 cup of the crispy fried onions.

Transfer the green bean mixture to a 1 1/2-quart baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the mixture is hot and bubbling.

Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 2/3 cup of crispy fried onions evenly over the top.
Return the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the onions are golden brown and crispy.

Let the Green Bean Casserole cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy this classic comfort dish as a delicious side to your meal.

Tips

Fresh vs. Canned Beans: Fresh green beans provide a crisper texture, but canned green beans can be used for convenience.
Homemade Fried Onions: For a homemade touch, make your own crispy fried onions by slicing onions thinly, coating them in flour, and frying them until golden and crispy.
Variations: Add a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese for a cheesy version, or mix in some cooked bacon pieces for extra flavor.
Make-Ahead: Prepare the casserole up to the point of baking. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add the fried onion topping just before baking.
