  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup crispy fried onions

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Drain the green beans and place them at the bottom of your crockpot.

  3. Pour the sauce over the green beans in the crockpot. Gently stir to coat the beans evenly.
  4. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the mixture.
Cooking
  1. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 3-4 hours or on high for 1.5-2 hours, until the green beans are tender and the sauce is bubbly.
  2. About 15 minutes before serving, top the casserole with crispy fried onions and let it cook uncovered to make them crispy.
Serving
  1. Once done, give it a gentle stir and serve warm.

Notes

For extra crunch, use fresh green beans instead of canned. Consider lowering sodium with low-sodium soup and fried onions. Enhance flavor with soy or Worcestershire sauce. Check cooking times to avoid mushy beans. Leftovers can be stored for up to four days in an airtight container or frozen for up to two months.
