Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 cups (2 pounds) frozen cut green beans, thawed
- 21 ounces (2 cans) condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 3 cups crispy fried onions
Liquid and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
Spices:
- 3/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
Instructions
- Blend thawed green beans with cream of mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce, black pepper, and seasoned salt in a spacious mixing vessel, ensuring thorough incorporation of all ingredients.
- Carefully transfer the prepared mixture into the crockpot, spreading evenly across the bottom.
- Set the crockpot to low temperature and allow the mixture to simmer gently for 2-3 hours, periodically stirring to prevent ingredient separation and ensure consistent heating.
- Approximately 30 minutes before serving, fold in half of the crispy fried onions, distributing them throughout the casserole to enhance flavor and texture.
- Sprinkle the remaining fried onions across the top of the casserole, then switch the crockpot to high temperature for a final 15-20 minute cooking cycle to create a golden, crunchy topping.
- Once the onions are perfectly crisp and the casserole is heated through, remove from the crockpot and transfer to a serving dish.
- Serve immediately while piping hot, allowing guests to savor the rich, creamy texture and delightful crunch of the onion topping.
Notes
- Use frozen green beans for convenience and save time on washing and chopping fresh vegetables.
- Substitute dairy milk with almond or oat milk and use a dairy-free cream of mushroom soup for those with lactose intolerance.
- Reduce soy sauce or use low-sodium alternatives to manage salt intake without compromising flavor.
- Toast fried onions separately in a skillet before adding to ensure maximum crunchiness and prevent sogginess in the crockpot.
