Description
A comforting and elegant dish featuring tender green beans, a creamy mushroom sauce, and a golden onion topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups trimmed green beans (blanched) or 2 (14–15 oz) cans green beans, drained
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 (10–11 oz) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce or Worcestershire (optional)
- 1 1/3 cups French fried onions (divided)
- 2 tablespoons panko or breadcrumbs (optional)
- Fresh parsley or thyme, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 2-quart baking dish.
- Blanch fresh beans in salted boiling water for 3–4 minutes, then plunge into ice water and drain. Canned beans should be drained and patted dry.
- Whisk the condensed cream of mushroom soup with milk until smooth, then stir in the butter and soy sauce, seasoning with black pepper.
- Fold the green beans into the sauce until evenly coated, then transfer to the baking dish.
- Sprinkle half of the French fried onions (and panko if using) over the top.
- Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes until bubbling and edges are browned.
- Remove from oven, scatter remaining fried onions over the top, and bake for an additional 3–5 minutes until golden and crisp.
- Rest for 5 minutes before serving and garnish with fresh herbs.
Notes
For added crispness, use panko or lightly toast the French fried onions before topping.
