How to Make Campbell Soup Green Bean Casserole
- Making this classic green bean casserole is incredibly simple, yet the results are always impressive. With just a few easy steps, you'll have a dish that’s creamy, crispy, and bursting with comforting flavors. Follow this step-by-step guide to get it just right!
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures even baking and allows the flavors to meld together perfectly.
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, combine:
- Campbell’s Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup
- Milk (this helps thin the soup for a smooth consistency)
- Soy sauce and black pepper for a well-balanced savory flavor
- Green beans (fresh, frozen, or canned—see ingredient notes for prep tips)
- Stir everything until the beans are well coated in the creamy mixture.
Step 3: Assemble the Casserole
- Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Spread the green bean mixture evenly into the dish.
- Sprinkle ⅔ cup of crispy fried onions on top—this adds an initial layer of crunch.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the mixture is hot and bubbling.
Step 5: Add the Crispy Topping
- Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the remaining crispy fried onions on top.
- Return it to the oven and bake for 5 more minutes, just until the onions turn golden brown and extra crispy.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
- Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving—this helps the flavors settle. Serve it alongside your favorite holiday dishes or enjoy it as a comforting side any time of the year!
