Ingredients You’ll Need

4 (15 oz each) cans Cut Green Beans (Drained) – These give you the perfect tender texture without extra prep. Draining removes excess liquid so the casserole stays creamy, not watery.

1 (22 oz) can Mushroom Soup – This is your rich, velvety base. The larger can ensures the casserole has enough sauce to coat all the beans.

1/3 cup Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing – Adds a subtle tang and savory depth that makes the casserole taste richer and more flavorful than the classic version.

1 cup French’s Crispy Fried Onions – The essential crunchy topping. They bake into a golden, crispy layer that contrasts beautifully with the creamy filling.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 8 x 8 pan and set aside.
