Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Blanch the fresh green beans in boiling salted water for about 5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until smooth and well-combined.
Gently fold the blanched green beans into the creamy cheese sauce until evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and spread it out evenly. Top with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese and French fried onions.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the cheese is melted and the top is golden brown and crispy.

Notes

For a heartier casserole, stir in cooked chicken, turkey, or crumbled bacon. Use low-sodium cream of mushroom soup to reduce salt content.
