Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup milk
How to Make Cheesy Green Bean Casserole
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large pot of boiling salted water, blanch the green beans for about 3-4 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and chopped onion. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Add the blanched green beans and sautéed onions to the bowl, stirring until everything is evenly coated with the soup mixture.
- Transfer the green bean mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Sprinkle half of the cheddar cheese over the top, followed by the breadcrumbs. Finish with the remaining cheddar cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
Tips for the Best Results
- For an extra flavor boost, consider adding cooked bacon or diced ham to the green bean mixture.
- If you prefer a creamier casserole, increase the amount of cream of mushroom soup or milk.
- Make sure to use fresh green beans for the best texture; frozen beans can become mushy.
Easy Variations
- Swap out the cheddar cheese for mozzarella or Gruyère for a different flavor profile.
- Add some crunch by incorporating slivered almonds or crushed crackers on top of the breadcrumbs.
- For a spicy kick, mix in some diced jalapeños or sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes over the casserole before baking.
What to Serve With It
This Cheesy Green Bean Casserole pairs wonderfully with:
- Roast chicken or turkey
- Grilled steaks or pork chops
- A fresh side salad
- Mashed potatoes or rice
- Stuffing or quinoa
Storage and Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through, about 15-20 minutes. You can also microwave individual portions for a quick meal.
