Fresh Green Bean Casserole
The familiar creamy casserole rebuilt with fresh blanched green beans and a crisp fried onion lid.
Ingredients
- 500 g green beans trimmed, about 1 lb
- 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup 10.5 oz / 300 g
- 120 ml whole milk 1/2 cup
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce optional
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 100 g crispy fried onions about 1 1/2 cups
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a medium baking dish.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch for 5 minutes, until bright green and slightly tender, then drain well.
- In a large bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup, milk, Worcestershire sauce if using, and black pepper until smooth.
- Stir in the drained green beans and half of the crispy fried onions.
- Transfer the mixture to the baking dish and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 25 minutes, until bubbling around the edges.
- Top with the remaining crispy fried onions and bake for a further 5 to 10 minutes, until golden and bubbling.
Notes
Nutrition values are an estimate. Blanch the beans for exactly 5 minutes and drain them thoroughly, since water clinging to the beans is the main cause of a watery casserole. Add the remaining fried onions only for the last 5 to 10 minutes so they crisp rather than burn.
