Classic Green Bean Casserole – A Holiday Favorite That Never Disappoints! 💚🍲

Ingredients:

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and cut in half (or 3 cups canned green beans, drained) 💚
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup milk 🥛
1 cup fried onions (plus more for topping) 🧅✨
Salt and black pepper to taste 🧂

Step-by-Step Directions:

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is going to make your home smell amazing, trust me! 🏠✨

Prep the Beans: If you’re using fresh green beans, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and cook for about 4-5 minutes until they’re bright green but still crisp. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.

Mix the Casserole: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, salt, pepper, and about 1 cup of fried onions. Stir in the green beans until well coated.

Bake It Up: Pour the green bean mixture into a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Top with additional fried onions and bake for another 5-10 minutes until they’re golden and crispy. This gives you that perfect crunchy topping everyone loves! 💛

Serve & Enjoy: Let it cool for a few minutes before serving, then dig in! This green bean casserole is the ultimate comfort food and a classic side dish that belongs at every holiday table. 🌿🍽️
