Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cans green beans, drained
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup
  • 0.5 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup crispy fried onions
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the drained green beans, cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  2. Add Cheese and Onions: Stir in half of the crispy fried onions and half of the shredded cheddar cheese to the mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  3. Transfer to Crockpot: Pour the prepared mixture into the crockpot and spread it evenly. Set the crockpot to cook on low heat for 4 hours, allowing flavors to meld and the casserole to become hot and bubbly.
  4. Top and Crisp: About 30 minutes before serving, sprinkle the remaining cheese and fried onions evenly over the top of the casserole. Continue cooking to let the cheese melt and the onions become crispy.
  5. Serve: Once the topping is crispy and golden, carefully ladle the casserole onto plates or serving dishes. Serve hot and enjoy this comforting classic side dish.

Notes

  • Using fresh green beans instead of canned will require pre-cooking to soften them before adding to the crockpot.
  • For a richer flavor, use sharp cheddar cheese or a blend of cheeses such as Gruyère.
  • To make it gluten free, substitute crispy fried onions with gluten-free fried onions or crispy breadcrumbs.
  • To ensure crispy topping, do not cover the crockpot during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • This casserole can be prepared a day in advance by mixing all ingredients except for the cheese and onions, refrigerating overnight, then cooking as directed.
