Green bean casserole in a baking dish.

Green Bean Casserole is a classic, creamy side dish perfect for Thanksgiving or any family gathering. Made with tender green beans, creamy mushroom soup, and topped with crispy fried onions, this comforting casserole is a crowd-pleaser that pairs beautifully with turkey, ham, or roast beef.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces (or 2 cans, drained)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce (optional, for added flavor)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/3 cups French-fried onions, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce (if using), and black pepper. Stir until smooth.
  3. Add Green Beans: Mix in the green beans and 2/3 cup of the French-fried onions, coating everything well in the sauce.
  4. Bake: Pour the mixture into a 9×13-inch baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until hot and bubbling.
  5. Add Topping: Sprinkle the remaining fried onions over the casserole. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, until onions are golden brown.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven, let it cool for a couple of minutes, and serve hot.
