A nostalgic and easy-to-make green bean casserole featuring Campbell’s original cream of mushroom soup and crispy fried onions, perfect for holidays and family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed and blanched (can substitute frozen)
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup (original)
  • 1/2 cup whole milk (120 ml), 2% milk also works
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 1/3 cups French fried onions (about 100 grams)
  • Optional: 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon melted butter (14 grams)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add green beans and blanch for about 5 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking and preserve color. Drain again and set aside.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce, black pepper, and garlic powder if using. Stir until smooth.
  4. Gently fold the blanched green beans into the soup mixture until all beans are coated.
  5. Pour the green bean mixture into a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and spread evenly.
  6. Sprinkle French fried onions evenly over the top.
  7. Bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes until edges bubble and onions are golden brown. If onions brown too quickly, loosely cover with foil halfway through baking.
  8. Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not overcook green beans; blanch until tender-crisp. Use original Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup for best flavor. If fried onions brown too fast, cover casserole loosely with foil halfway through baking. For gluten-free, use gluten-free fried onions or homemade topping. For dairy-free, substitute soup and milk with dairy-free alternatives.
