Ingredients
2 cans (14.5 oz each) cut green beans, drained
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 slices turkey bacon, cooked until crispy and crumbled
1 1/3 cups crispy fried onions
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 1.5-quart baking dish.
In a large bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, and black pepper until smooth.
Fold in the drained green beans, shredded cheddar cheese, and half of the crumbled turkey bacon.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake for 25 minutes until the sauce is hot and bubbling.
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with the crispy fried onions and the remaining turkey bacon.
Return to the oven for another 5 minutes, or until the onions are golden brown, and serve immediately.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven to keep onions crunchy. You can substitute canned beans with 1 pound of blanched fresh green beans for a fresher taste. Boost flavor by adding a teaspoon of garlic powder or fresh parsley to the mushroom sauce.
