A delightful twist on the classic green bean casserole, this recipe combines fresh ingredients with a creamy sauce and a crispy topping for a dish that's perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for your casserole.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce, and black pepper until smooth.
Mixing the sauce thoroughly ensures an even distribution of flavors.
Add the fresh green beans to the sauce and stir to coat them evenly.
Blanch the green beans beforehand for a brighter color and better texture.
Transfer the mixture to a casserole dish and spread it out evenly.
Using a spatula can help spread the mixture evenly in the dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Cover the dish with foil if you notice the top browning too quickly.
Sprinkle the crispy fried onions evenly over the top of the casserole.
For extra crunch, you can mix the onions with a bit of melted butter before adding.
Return the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the topping is golden brown.
Keep an eye on the topping to prevent it from burning.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Letting the casserole rest helps the flavors meld together.
