Classic Green Bean Casserole

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Green Bean Casserole.

1. Step 1

   To start, grab a small bowl and whisk your egg until it’s nice and frothy.

2. Step 2

   In a separate bowl, mix together the flour and a dash of ground black pepper for a little kick.

3. Step 3

   Now, heat up some vegetable oil in a heavy skillet or deep fryer until it reaches a sizzling 375°F (190°C).

4. Step 4

   This is where the magic happens! Take each onion ring, dip it into the beaten egg, and then coat it generously with the flour mixture.

5. Step 5

   Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil in batches, frying them until they turn a beautiful golden brown—this should take about 3 minutes.

6. Step 6

   Don’t forget to turn them once if needed for even cooking.

7. Step 7

   Once they’re perfectly crispy, remove them and let them drain on a plate lined with paper towels to cool.

8. Step 8

   When they’re cool enough to handle, chop the fried onion rings into bite-sized pieces, about 1/2 inch thick.

   Next, let’s get your oven ready by preheating it to 350°F (175°C).

10. Step 10

    In a medium bowl, combine the drained green beans, cream of mushroom soup, and a splash of milk.

11. Step 11

    Stir in half of those delicious chopped onion rings, and then transfer this creamy mixture into a casserole dish.

12. Step 12

    Pop it into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 25 minutes, or until it’s heated through and bubbling with excitement.

13. Step 13

    Once it’s out of the oven, sprinkle a generous amount of shredded Cheddar cheese and the remaining onion rings on top.

14. Step 14

    Return it to the oven for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the top is gloriously golden brown.

15. Step 15

    For the finishing touch, add a sprinkle of paprika and a bit more black pepper before serving.
