Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (16 oz) bags frozen cut green beans
  • 4 (10.5 oz) cans cream of chicken soup
  • 1 1/3 cups milk
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 (6 oz) cans French-fried onions, divided
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional)

Instructions

  1. Grease the inside of your crockpot with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, mix soup, milk, Parmesan, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Cheddar cheese (if using).
  3. Stir in the frozen green beans and half of the French-fried onions until evenly coated.
  4. Transfer the mixture to the prepared crockpot and smooth the top.
  5. Cover and cook on LOW for 5 hours or on HIGH for 2.5 to 3 hours, until the casserole is bubbly and the beans are tender.
  6. During the last 15 to 30 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the remaining French-fried onions over the top. If possible, leave the lid off during this time to ensure the onions stay crispy.

Notes

  • For a deeper flavor, you can substitute 1 or 2 cans of cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom soup.
  • To keep it vegetarian, use cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup.
  • You can add browned breakfast sausage or crispy bacon for an extra savory element.
  • Sautéed mushrooms can be added for a mushroom lover’s version.
  • For a Cajun twist, add cooked crawfish tails or shrimp in the last 30 minutes.
  • To make ahead, assemble the casserole (without the topping onions) the day before and refrigerate. Add an extra 30-60 minutes to the cooking time.
  • If the casserole seems watery, remove the lid for the last 20-30 minutes of cooking or thicken with a cornstarch slurry.
  • If using fresh green beans, blanch them first for 4-5 minutes and then plunge them into an ice bath.
  • For the crispiest topping, add the fried onions at the very end and leave the lid off.
