Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables and Base

  • 2 cans green beans, drained

Liquids and Sauces

  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup (approximately 10.5 oz)
  • 0.5 cup milk

Spices and Seasonings

  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt

Dairy and Toppings

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 cup crispy fried onions, divided

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the drained green beans, cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  2. Add Cheese and Onions: Stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese and half of the crispy fried onions into the mixture to infuse rich flavor throughout.
  3. Cook in Crockpot: Pour the mixture into the crockpot and set it to cook on low heat for 4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the beans to become tender.
  4. Top and Crisp: During the last 30 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese and crispy fried onions on top. Continue cooking until the cheese is melted and the onions are golden and crispy.
  5. Serve: Remove the casserole from the crockpot, serve it hot as a comforting side dish, and enjoy your homemade classic green bean casserole.

Notes

  • You can substitute fresh or frozen green beans, but adjust cooking time accordingly.
  • Make sure to drain canned green beans well to avoid excess liquid.
  • This recipe can be made ahead and reheated gently in the crockpot or oven.
