  • 1.33 cups fried onions

  • large bowl

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grab a 1.5-quart baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the drained green beans, cream of mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce, and black pepper.
  3. Transfer the green bean mixture into your baking dish and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until it's hot and bubbly.

Notes

For an extra kick, add a dash of hot sauce to the mixture before baking. You can also experiment with different types of canned beans, like French-style green beans, for a slightly varied texture. To make this dish even quicker, you can prepare the mixture ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator, then just pop it in the oven when you're ready to bake. This recipe is easily scalable; just adjust the ingredient amounts proportionally for more or fewer servings. Always ensure the casserole is heated through before serving, especially if you've refrigerated it prior to baking.
