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 and 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 and set it aside.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, drained green beans, milk, and one container of crispy fried onions. Stir well to evenly mix all the ingredients together.
- Assemble the Casserole: Pour the green bean mixture into the prepared baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the remaining container of crispy fried onions over the top as a crunchy topping.
- Bake: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 to 35 minutes until the casserole is bubbly and the edges start to brown slightly.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for about 10 minutes before serving to allow it to set. Enjoy your classic green bean casserole!
Notes
- Fried Onions: Adjust the amount of crispy fried onions based on your preference. While the recipe uses all of it, you can use less if desired.
- Half the Recipe: This recipe can be halved and baked in a 2-quart or 8-inch square baking dish for smaller servings.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the casserole 24-48 hours in advance, keep it covered in the refrigerator, but add the fried onion topping just before baking.
- Storing Leftovers: Store leftover casserole covered in the refrigerator for up to four days, either in the baking dish or an airtight container.
- To Reheat: Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 45 seconds to 1 minute or warm the whole dish in the oven for a few minutes.
- Freezing: You can freeze the assembled casserole without the topping for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, add the topping, and bake with 5 to 10 extra minutes. Avoid freezing baked casserole due to soggy fried onions.
