Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 cups fried onions, plus more for topping
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

- Make the sauce: In a large bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, soy sauce, and black pepper until smooth. Stir in the cheese if using.
- Combine: Add the blanched green beans and 1 cup of fried onions to the sauce mixture. Gently toss to coat the beans evenly.

- Bake: Place the casserole in the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top.
- Cool slightly: Let it sit for a few minutes before serving to set.
