Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 10.5 ounces cream of mushroom soup
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup mild cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup fried crispy onions
- 0.5 cup panko bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon salt for boiling green beans
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Trim the ends of the green beans and rinse them under cold water.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and the green beans, then blanch them for 4-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground black pepper until smooth.
Fold the blanched green beans into the soup mixture until they are evenly coated.
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with non-stick spray or butter and layer half of the green bean mixture in the dish.
Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheeses (half sharp and half mild) evenly over the layer.
Add the remaining green bean mixture on top, and then evenly sprinkle the second cup of shredded cheddar cheeses over the top.
In a small bowl, combine the fried crispy onions, panko breadcrumbs, and melted butter. Mix until the topping is coated and crumbly.
Evenly sprinkle the onion-panko mixture over the casserole.
Cover the casserole loosely with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy.
Let the casserole sit for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
