Ingredients
2 lbs fresh green beans, washed and trimmed
2 cans (10.5 oz each) cream of mushroom soup
1 cup milk
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 ½ cups French fried onions, divided
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
1. Blanch green beans in boiling water for 5 minutes, then plunge into an ice bath; drain well.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together cream of mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce, black pepper, and garlic powder until smooth.
3. Stir in 1 cup French fried onions and shredded cheddar cheese.
4. Add green beans to the crockpot and pour sauce over top; gently stir to coat.
5. Cover and cook on LOW for 5-6 hours or HIGH for 3 hours.
6. About 30 minutes before serving, sprinkle remaining ½ cup French fried onions on top, cover, and let warm.
Notes
Cool casserole completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Reheat in the microwave for single servings or oven at 350°F for larger portions.
Do not skip blanching fresh green beans to prevent watery casserole.
Add toppings at the end for a crispy texture.
Optional swaps: frozen or canned green beans, make-from-scratch mushroom sauce, add crispy bacon, swap cheddar for Swiss cheese.
