- 24 oz Fresh green beans
- 2 cans 10.5 oz each 98% fat-free cream of mushroom soup
- ⅔ cup Fat-free milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 Med/large yellow onion thinly sliced.
- 1 Egg
- ¼ cup All-purpose flour
- Garlic powder to taste
As preparation, trim the green beans and blanch them in hot boiling water for 2-4 minutes. Transfer them to an ice bath to cool them down.
To make the crispy onions, toss the sliced onions with the egg, flour, and salt and pepper to coat them. Bake them in a 400F oven for 15 minutes, then stir them. Return them to the oven for 7-12 minutes or until they reach your desired crispiness. Sprinkle garlic powder over them to taste.
For the filling, combine the green beans, milk, and soup. Transfer the mixture to the slow cooker and cook on low for two hours, stirring halfway through. Increase the heat to high and cook for 30-60 minutes longer, until the green beans are tender and the mixture is bubbly. Use a fork or try a green bean to test their tenderness, as cooking time can vary depending on your exact appliance.
Adjust the seasonings as needed with salt and pepper. Turn off the heat and allow the casserole to rest for about 15 minutes to thicken. Sprinkle with crispy onions and serve.
