Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/3 cups French fried onions

Instructions

  3. Spread the mixture in a baking dish and top with two-thirds of the fried onions.

  • Add a dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes for extra spice.
