Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams fresh green beans
- 300 grams carrots
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 120 milliliters milk
- 200 grams sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 60 grams panko breadcrumbs
- 80 grams fried onions
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish and set aside.
Wash and trim the ends of the green beans. Cut them into bite-sized pieces. Peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and carrots, and blanch them for 3-4 minutes. Drain and immediately transfer to an ice bath to cool. Drain again and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Stir in the blanched green beans, carrots, and half of the cheddar cheese into the soup mixture. Mix until all the vegetables are evenly coated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly.
Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the panko breadcrumbs and stir constantly until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese evenly over the casserole mixture, followed by the toasted breadcrumb mixture and fried onions.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is bubbling and golden brown.
Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
