Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 can (15 oz) green beans, drained
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Toppings

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup French fried onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready once your casserole is assembled.
  2. Cook Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef thoroughly, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Once fully cooked, drain any excess fat to keep the dish from becoming greasy.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix together the cooked ground beef, drained green beans, cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all flavors evenly.
  4. Assemble Casserole: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish lightly with oil or butter. Transfer your beef and green bean mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly to ensure good baking.
  5. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole. This will melt and form a delicious cheesy layer.
  6. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, until the mixture is bubbly and the cheese has melted completely.
  7. Add Onion Topping: Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the French fried onions over the top evenly to add a crunchy texture.
  8. Final Bake: Return the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 5–10 minutes, or until the French fried onions are golden brown and crisp.
  9. Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving to enjoy the perfect warm comfort food.

Notes

  • For a creamier texture, you can substitute whole milk with half-and-half or light cream.
  • Feel free to use fresh or frozen green beans, but adjust cooking time accordingly.
  • To reduce sodium, use low-sodium cream of mushroom soup and less salt.
  • French fried onions can be omitted or substituted with breadcrumbs for a different texture.
  • This casserole pairs well with a simple side salad or crusty bread.
