- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Toppings:
- 1 1/2 cups crispy fried onions
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and blanch the green beans for 5 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until smooth.
- Add the blanched green beans to the sauce mixture and stir until well coated.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13 inch baking dish and spread evenly.

- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the onions are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- This casserole can be prepared a day in advance. Assemble the dish, cover it tightly with foil, and refrigerate. Bake it the next day, adding an extra 10 minutes to the cooking time.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream and use low-fat cream of mushroom soup.
