Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a bowl, combine the drained green beans with cream of mushroom soup, cream cheese and butter. Mix together until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Grease an oven-safe pan with butter or cooking spray. Pour in the green bean mixture and spread it out evenly into the pan using a spatula or spoon. Top with crispy onion rings as desired.
- Place the pan into a preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Sprinkle some shredded cheese into the green bean mix for an added cheesy flavor and texture!
- Add extra vegetables like diced mushrooms or celery to the mix if desired!
- If you want a crunchier top layer, sprinkle some extra onion rings on top before baking.
- You can also use frozen green beans instead of fresh ones if that’s all you have available! Just be sure to thaw them before using in this recipe.
- Make sure to stir the mixture every 5 minutes or so while baking, as this helps it cook evenly.
