Ingredients for Another Green Bean Casserole

  • 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • Cream Of Mushroom Soup
  • Velveeta Cheese
  • 1 cup french fried onions
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

How to Make Another Green Bean Casserole

  1. In a large saucepan, combine the trimmed green beans, sliced onion, and 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the green beans are tender-crisp but still retain some bite. About half of the liquid should evaporate.
  3. Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper.
  4. Continue to simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy (about 5-7 minutes).
  5. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. If desired, add more cheese for extra richness.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the green bean mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  7. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
  8. Remove the foil, sprinkle the french fried onions evenly over the top, and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the onions are golden brown and bubbly.
  9. Let the casserole stand for 3-5 minutes before serving to allow it to set slightly.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
