- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 1/3 cups crispy fried onions, divided
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 1.5-quart casserole dish.

Notes
- For a Southern style variation, stir 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese into the bean mixture before baking.
- You can prepare this casserole up to one day ahead. Cover and refrigerate before baking. Add 10 minutes to the initial covered baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
- To make an air fryer green bean casserole, bake at 325°F (160°C) for 15 minutes, then top with onions and cook for 3-5 more minutes until brown.
