Green Bean Casserole Recipe

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Fill a large bowl with ice water and set aside.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high. Add the green beans, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and bright green, 2 to 3 minutes.

Using a slotted spoon, remove the green beans from the boiling water and place them in the ice bath. Let stand until completely cooled, about 2 minutes. Drain well.

In a large bowl, stir together the mushroom soup, milk, pepper, and salt until well combined. Stir in the cooled green beans until evenly coated. Place the mixture in a 1½-quart casserole dish.

Bake until heated through and just starting to bubble on the edges, about 30 minutes. Stir the mixture then sprinkle the top with the fried onions in an even layer. Continue baking until the onions are browned, about 5 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
