Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds fresh or frozen green beans, trimmed
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup or 1 1/2 cups homemade mushroom sauce
  • 1/2 cup milk or plant-based milk
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups crispy fried onions
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil (for greasing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and blanch green beans for 3–4 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce, black pepper, and garlic powder if using.
  4. Add the green beans to the bowl and mix until evenly coated in the sauce.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the sauce is hot and bubbly around the edges.
  7. Remove from the oven, top with crispy fried onions, and bake for an additional 5–10 minutes until golden and crunchy.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Use fresh or thawed frozen green beans — avoid canned for best texture.Make it dairy-free by using plant-based milk and dairy-free mushroom soup.Customize with added mushrooms, carrots, or peas for variety.To make ahead, assemble without the topping and refrigerate. Add onions just before baking.Top with extra crispy onions if reheating after storing.
