Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 15-ounce cans green beans, drained
  • 1 10.5-ounce can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1⅓ cups French fried onions divided

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, mix green beans, cream of mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce, and black pepper until combined.
  3. Fold in 2/3 cup French fried onions.
  4. Spread mixture into prepared baking dish and bake 25 minutes until bubbly.

Notes

Drain canned beans thoroughly to avoid watery casserole. Use blanched fresh or frozen beans as a substitute. Keep some fried onions aside for topping to maintain crunch.
