Ingredients
- 900 grams fresh green beans, trimmed
- 2 cans (10.5 oz each) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1.5 cups crispy fried onions
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Spray the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and blanch the green beans for 4-5 minutes, then immediately transfer to an ice water bath to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and black pepper until combined.
Step 4
Place the blanched green beans in the slow cooker and pour the soup mixture over them. Stir gently to coat the beans evenly in the sauce.
Step 5
Dot the top with small pieces of butter for added richness.
Step 6
Cover and cook on low heat for 4 hours, stirring once halfway through if possible.
Step 7
In the last 15 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the crispy fried onions evenly over the top of the casserole. Replace the cover and let cook for the final 15 minutes.
Step 8
Once done, give the casserole a gentle stir to mix the onions slightly into the sauce and serve hot.
