  • Skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking dish
  • Whisk

Ingredients

For the Casserole

  • 2 pounds fresh green beans trimmed
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms fresh or canned
  • 1 cup sour cream for richness
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup 10.5 ounces
  • ½ cup fried onions plus extra for topping
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil if using fresh mushrooms

Instructions

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Blanch the green beans for about 4-5 minutes, then plunge into ice water to halt cooking.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and sauté sliced mushrooms for 5-7 minutes until tender, or skip if using canned mushrooms.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk until smooth.
  • Fold in the sautéed or canned mushrooms, blanched green beans, and ½ cup of fried onions. Mix until well combined.
  • Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle shredded sharp cheddar cheese on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until bubbly and the cheese is melted.
  • Sprinkle additional fried onions on top and bake for another 5-10 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove from oven and allow to sit for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For the best flavor, use fresh green beans and store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
