Ingredients

• 450 grams fresh green beans
• 300 grams carrots
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup
• 120 milliliters milk
• 200 grams sharp cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 60 grams panko breadcrumbs
• 80 grams fried onions
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish and set aside.

Step 2

Wash and trim the ends of the green beans. Cut them into bite-sized pieces. Peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds.

Step 3

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and carrots, and blanch them for 3-4 minutes. Drain and immediately transfer to an ice bath to cool. Drain again and set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

Step 5

Stir in the blanched green beans, carrots, and half of the cheddar cheese into the soup mixture. Mix until all the vegetables are evenly coated.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 7

Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the panko breadcrumbs and stir constantly until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese evenly over the casserole mixture, followed by the toasted breadcrumb mixture and fried onions.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is bubbling and golden brown.

Step 10

Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
