Instructions

1
In a Suvie pan, stir together 2 tbsp oil, ½ yellow onion, 3 cloves garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Load pan into the bottom of Suvie and Roast at 400°F for 10 minutes.
2
During the broil, bring 1 quart of water to a boil in a medium pot. Fill a large bowl with ice water. Add 1 lb green beans to the pot and boil 2-3 minutes. Immediately transfer green beans to the ice bath.
3
After the broil, add 1 can cream of mushroom soup and ¼ cup cheddar cheese to the pan and stir. Gently fold in green beans, and load the pan into the bottom of your Suvie. Input settings and cook now. When only 10 minutes remain in the bake, top the casserole with the remaining cheese and 1 cup fried onions.
4
After the cook, remove the pan from your Suvie, and divide the green bean casserole between plates.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Slice the yellow onion thinly and cook it until softened before adding garlic to build a flavor base that seasons the entire dish.
Reserve a portion of the fried onions to stir into the sauce for distributed crunch, then use the remainder as a finishing topper.
Add fried onions in the final 5–10 minutes of baking or directly before serving to prevent them from softening in the creamy sauce.
Taste and season with salt and pepper after mixing all ingredients; canned soup and cheese are already salted, so adjust cautiously.

Substitutions

Cream of mushroom soup → cream of celery or cream of chicken soup (lighter flavor profile)
Cheddar cheese → gruyere or fontina (richer, nuttier flavor)
Fresh green beans → trimmed frozen green beans, thawed and drained (convenience, same result)

Storage & make-ahead

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven until warmed through, adding fresh fried onions before serving.

Common Questions

Can I make green bean casserole ahead of time?

Yes, assemble the casserole without the fried onion topping, cover, and refrigerate up to 24 hours. Add fried onions just before baking to keep them crispy.

Can I substitute fresh mushrooms for cream of mushroom soup?

You can sauté fresh sliced mushrooms with garlic and onion, then mix with a roux and broth to create a homemade cream sauce, though the canned soup provides consistent flavor and texture.
