Cheesy Bacon Green Bean Casserole

Ingredients

French fried onions

1 cup

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Black pepper

1/4 teaspoon

Milk

1/2 cup

Cream of mushroom soup

1 can (10.5 ounces)

Cheddar cheese

2 cups, shredded

Bacon

6 slices, cooked and crumbled

Green beans

2 cans (14.5 ounces each), drained or 4 cups fresh green beans, blanched

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the drained green beans, crumbled bacon, and 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. This forms the creamy base of your casserole.
4. Pour the soup mixture over the green beans, bacon, and cheese. Stir everything together to ensure the green beans are well coated.
5. Transfer the green bean mixture into a casserole dish. Spread it out evenly.
6. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the green bean mixture, followed by the French fried onions.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the onions are golden brown.
8. Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and makes the casserole easier to serve.
