Equipment

  • Oven
  • Medium saucepan
  • large nonstick skillet
  • Baking Dish

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups green beans washed and ends trimmed, roughly ¾ pound
  • ⅓ stick butter
  • ½ medium yellow onion diced
  • ½ cup sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup 10.5 ounce
  • 1 can French-fried onions 2.8 ounce
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 cup freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350F (176C). Use cooking spray to lightly grease a 1 ½ quart (6 cup) oven safe baking dish, and set aside.
  • To a medium saucepan, add the trimmed green beans. Pour the chicken broth over the green beans, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium and boil for 10 minutes, then drain.
  • While the green beans are boiling, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter to the pan. Once the butter has melted, add in the diced onions and sliced mushrooms. Saute until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms have softened (about 5 minutes).
  • Add the drained green beans, cream of mushroom soup, French-fried onions, salt, garlic powder, pepper, and onion powder to the skillet. Mix thoroughly. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the casserole dish from the oven and evenly sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the green beans. Place the casserole dish back into the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes (until the casserole is hot and the cheese has melted).

Notes

You can substitute fresh green beans with frozen or canned green beans. For frozen, boil two cups in chicken broth for 5-8 minutes, then proceed. For canned, use 1-2 (14.5 ounce) cans, drain, and skip boiling. Freshly grated cheese melts better than pre-grated.
