Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
- 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, thinly sliced
Base & Seasoning
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Toppings
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (divided)
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Combine vegetables and base: In a large bowl, mix the trimmed green beans and thinly sliced potatoes. Add the cream of mushroom soup, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together thoroughly until well combined.
- Add cheese: Gently fold half of the shredded sharp cheddar cheese into the vegetable and soup mixture, distributing it evenly without breaking the potatoes.
- Assemble the casserole: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese evenly over the top, then add a uniform layer of breadcrumbs for a crispy crust.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, until the casserole is bubbly around the edges and the top is golden brown. Serve hot for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use Yukon Gold potatoes for their creamy texture, but russet potatoes can be substituted if needed.
- For a gluten-free version, replace breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs or crushed nuts.
- You can prep this casserole a few hours ahead and refrigerate before baking, just add extra baking time if baking cold.
- Feel free to add sautéed onions or mushrooms for extra flavor.
