Ingredients
2 cans (14.5 oz each) cut green beans, drained
1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 slices turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 1/3 cups crispy fried onions, divided
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease your baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce, black pepper, drained green beans, half of the crispy fried onions, and the crumbled turkey bacon.
Stir until everything is evenly coated in the creamy sauce.
Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer using a spatula.
Bake for 25 minutes until the edges are bubbling.
Remove from the oven, sprinkle the remaining fried onions over the top, and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the onions are golden brown.
Notes
Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain onion crispiness.
Substitutions: For a meat-free version, omit the turkey bacon or substitute with toasted slivered almonds.
Texture: Do not skip the milk; it ensures the mushroom soup reaches the ideal creamy consistency.
