What ingredients do I need to make the green bean casserole?

• 1 – 10.5 oz. can of condensed cream of mushroom soup
• 1 tsp. ground pepper

• 3/4 cup milk
• 4 cups cooked green beans
• 1-1/4 cup crispy fried onions (reserve 1/2 cup)
• 3 slices cooked bacon (crumbled) (reserve half), optional

How do you make the green bean casserole recipe in the oven?

(Full recipe and measurements located at the bottom of the post)

• Add the cream of mushroom, salt, pepper, milk, green beans, part of the crispy fried onions, and half of the bacon to a large bowl. Mix everything together. 
• Pour into a greased pan and bake for 30 minutes. 
• Remove from the oven. Sprinkle with the remainder of the crispy fried onions and bacon. Return to the oven for five minutes. Serve hot. 

Recipe and printable instructions below

Add the cream of mushroom soup to a large bowl. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. 

Pour the milk into the bowl and mix everything together. 

Next, add part of the crispy fried onions to the bowl. 

Add part of the bacon to the bowl and mix everything together. If you’re not a big bacon eater (whaaat?) you can leave the bacon out of the recipe. It does add some great flavor to the dish. 

I cooked the bacon in the microwave, but you can also purchase precooked bacon at the store to save on time. 

Pour the green beans into the bowl and mix together. 

Pour into the casserole dish. You really don’t need anything much larger than a 9″ x 9″ dish, unless you are doubling the recipe. Bake for 30-minutes.

After 30-minutes sprinkle the rest of the crispy fried onions and bacon on top of the casserole and bake for another five minutes. Serve warm. 

You can always add more bacon and crispy fried onions to the top if you’d like. Sliced almonds are also a great treat sprinkled on the top for more crunch and flavor.
