Serves 8

Ingredients

Fresh green beans
1 pound, trimmed
Cream cheese
8 ounces, softened
Sour cream
1 cup
Fried onions
1 cup, plus extra for topping
Garlic powder
1 teaspoon
Onion powder
1 teaspoon
Salt
1/2 teaspoon, or to taste
Black pepper
1/4 teaspoon, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the trimmed green beans and cook for about 5 minutes, or until they are crisp-tender. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and smooth.
  4. Add the cooked green beans to the cream cheese mixture and gently toss to coat the beans evenly.
  5. Transfer the green bean mixture into a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
  6. Sprinkle 1 cup of fried onions over the top of the casserole, ensuring an even distribution.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the onions are golden and crispy.
  8. Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the creamy, delicious flavors!

Tips

  • 💡 For a twist, consider adding cooked bacon bits or shredded cheese to the green bean mixture for added flavor.
  • 💡 You can substitute low-fat cream cheese and sour cream for a lighter version without compromising too much on taste.
  • 💡 If you prefer a more homemade touch, consider making your own crispy onion topping using thinly sliced onions coated in flour and fried until golden.
