  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can green beans, drained

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 1.5-quart baking dish.

  5. Bake for 25 minutes.
  6. Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of crispy fried onions over the top.

Notes

  • You can prepare this simple baked side dish up to one day ahead. Cover and refrigerate before baking. Add 5 to 10 minutes to the initial baking time if baking from cold.
  • For a Southern green bean casserole variation, substitute fresh or frozen green beans for canned beans and add 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese to the bean mixture.
  • If you want to make this a vegetarian side dish, check your soup label to confirm it contains no meat products.
