Ingredients

Scale

Green Beans Mixture

2 cans green beans, drained
1 can cream of mushroom soup (10.5 oz)
0.5 cup milk
0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
0.5 teaspoon black pepper
0.5 teaspoon salt

Toppings

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup crispy fried onions

Instructions

Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the drained green beans, cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Add Cheese and Onions: Stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese and half of the crispy fried onions into the green bean mixture to evenly distribute flavors.
Cook in Crockpot: Pour the mixture into the crockpot and cook on low heat for 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the green beans to become tender.
Add Toppings: In the last 30 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the remaining cheese and fried onions on top of the casserole. Continue cooking until the cheese melts and onions become crispy.
Serve: Carefully remove the casserole from the crockpot, serve hot, and enjoy this flavorful, comforting side dish.

Notes

Drain the green beans well to avoid excess liquid in the casserole.
You can substitute cheddar cheese with mozzarella or a cheese blend based on preference.
For a homemade touch, use fresh green beans instead of canned, adjusting cooking time accordingly.
Be cautious with salt, especially if using canned soup which may already contain sodium.
Ensure the crockpot is covered during cooking to retain moisture and heat evenly.
