Time 40m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup (Regular or 98% Fat Free)
1 cup milk
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
6 slices bacon, cooked and chopped (about 6 tablespoons)
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
8 cups cooked green beans or 4 (14 1/2 ounce) cans any style del monte green beans, drained
2 2/3 cups French's French fried onions

Steps:

  • Stir the soup, milk, half the cheese, 5 tablespoons bacon, black pepper, beans and 1 1/3 cups onions in a 3-quart baking dish.
  • Bake at 350F for 25 minutes or until the bean mixture is hot and bubbling and the beans are tender (for softer beans bake a little longer). Stir the bean mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese, onions and bacon.
  • Bake for 5 minutes or until the onions are golden brown.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh green beans. Fresh green beans are more flavorful and have a better texture than frozen or canned beans.
  • Trim the green beans. Trim the ends of the green beans before cooking. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Cook the green beans until they are tender-crisp. Green beans should be cooked until they are tender, but still have a slight crunch. Overcooked green beans are mushy and bland.
  • Use high-quality bacon. The bacon is one of the main ingredients in this casserole, so it's important to use high-quality bacon. Look for bacon that is thick-cut and has a good amount of marbling.
  • Cook the bacon until it is crispy. Crispy bacon is the best bacon. Cook the bacon until it is crispy and browned.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is another important ingredient in this casserole. Use a good quality sharp cheddar cheese. Grated cheese is easier to work with than sliced cheese.
  • Make sure the casserole is hot and bubbly before serving. The casserole should be hot and bubbly when it is served. This will ensure that the cheese is melted and gooey.

Conclusion:

Bacon Cheddar Green Bean Casserole is a classic side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy, cheesy sauce, crispy bacon, and tender green beans, this casserole is sure to be a hit.
