Best Green Bean Casserole

This green bean casserole delivers cozy, nostalgic flavor with tender canned beans folded into rich mushroom sauce, melty Cheddar, and a crown of crunchy fried onions. It’s salty, savory, and satisfyingly cheesy—the kind of side that steals the show at holiday dinners or potlucks and comes together with minimal fuss.

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Combine the green beans and condensed soup in a large microwave-safe bowl until evenly mixed. Microwave on high until warmed through, 3 to 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese into the green bean mixture. Microwave on high for 2 to 3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Move the mixture to a casserole dish and spread it evenly over the bottom. Sprinkle the remaining Cheddar on top, then add the French-fried onions.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and the onions are just starting to brown, about 10 minutes.
