Description
Green bean casserole recipe with creamy sauce & crispy onions. A must-try dish for holidays or any meal. Easy, flavorful, and crowd-pleasing!
Ingredients
- Cream of mushroom soup – Some may turn up their noses at canned soup, but in this dish, it’s essential. It brings all the savory flavors, including hints of garlic and mushrooms, without the need for extra seasoning.
- Green beans – While fresh green beans can be used, canned green beans offer a softer texture that pairs well with the crispy onion topping. Just be sure to drain and rinse them before mixing.
- Milk – A small amount of milk helps achieve the perfect creamy consistency. You can use any type of milk you prefer.
- Crispy fried onions – This is what gives the dish its signature crunch. Half of them are mixed into the casserole for texture, while the rest are sprinkled on top for the perfect golden finish.
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Then put the 9×13 pan aside.


Place the green beans, cream of mushroom soup, milk, and 1/2 cup of the fried onions in a mixing bowl; stir until the mixture is well combined.

Pour the green bean mixture into the already prepared baking dish; spread evenly.

Sprinkle the remaining crispy fried onions over the top of the casserole.
Place the casserole in the oven and bake till the sides are bubbly and the top is golden, about 30 to 35 minutes.
Let the casserole sit for a scant 10 minutes before
Notes
- For the best texture, use fresh or frozen green beans instead of canned.
- Add cheese or bacon for an extra rich and savory twist.
- Prepare ahead by assembling the casserole and refrigerating it before baking.
