Unlike most Green Bean Casseroles which use canned green beans, this version uses fresh green beans and the results are incredible! In classic fashion, the tender beans are tossed with cream of mushroom soup, milk, and seasonings. Baked with fried onions, this casserole also offers the option of adding shredded cheddar cheese!

Ingredients

4 cups fresh green beans, washed, trimmed, and cut into one-inch lengths
1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup (284mL or 10.5 ounces)
1/2 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, optional
2 cups French's Crispy Fried Onions

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
Bring a pot of salted water to a full boil. Once boiling, add the fresh prepared green beans and stir. Cook the beans for 5 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
While the beans are cooking, in a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce, Worcestershire Sauce, ground black pepper, salt, and nutmeg.
If using cheese, add it to the soup mixture now and stir to combine.
Transfer the cooked beans and one cup of the French's Crispy Fried Onions to the soup mixture and toss well to combine.
Next, transfer to a well-greased baking dish - use a baking dish that will hold all of the bean mixture with at least one inch of space left from the top of the dish. This will provide room for the casserole to bubble up without spilling over.
Bake the casserole for 30 minutes, uncovered.
Remove the casserole from the oven and top with the remaining cup of French's Crispy Fried Onions. Bake for 10 additional minutes.
Serve and enjoy!
