Ingredients
- 1 pound cut green beans (fresh and trimmed, or frozen) (454g)
- 1 (10.5-ounce/298g) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
- ¼ cup whole milk (60mL)
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- ¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup crispy French fried onions (45g)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Fill a large bowl with ice water, and set aside.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high. Add the green beans, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and bright green, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the green beans from the boiling water, and place them in the ice bath. Let stand until completely cooled, about 2 minutes. Drain well.
- In a large bowl, stir together the mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce, pepper, and salt until well combined. Stir in the cooled green beans until evenly coated. Place the mixture in a 1½-quart casserole dish.
- Bake until heated through and just starting to bubble on the edges, about 30 minutes. Stir the mixture then sprinkle the top with the fried onions in an even layer. Continue baking until the onions are browned, about 5 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes
- Don’t skip the ice bath. After quickly boiling the green beans, you want to quickly stop them from cooking so they maintain a crisp bite in the oven. Make sure to add plenty of ice to the water, as the latent heat will quickly increase the temperature of your ice bath.
- Add herbs for a pop of freshness. I recommend stirring in about a tablespoon of chopped fresh thyme or chopped fresh rosemary or about a teaspoon of dried rubbed sage to the creamy casserole sauce before adding the green beans. You can also garnish with more herbs before serving.
- Add cheese for extra creaminess. Stir in 1 cup of freshly shredded white cheddar, fontina, or gruyere with the green bean mixture for an indulgent twist. Right before you add the crunchy onions, sprinkle on about ¼ cup of extra shredded cheese for a bubbly topping.
