Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4-6 cups Green beans (canned, frozen, or fresh)
  • 2 cans Cream of mushroom soup Or your favorite equivalent
  • 1 cup Sour cream For extra creaminess
  • 0.25-0.5 cups Milk Splash depending on desired thickness
  • to taste Garlic powder
  • to taste Onion powder
  • to taste Black pepper
  • to taste Salt Only if needed since soup can be salty
  • 1 cup French fried onions Classic crunchy topping
Optional Ingredients
  • 1 handful Shredded cheddar For a cheesier version
  • to taste Cooked bacon bits For a smoky kick

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Lightly grease the inside of your crock pot with cooking spray or a little butter.
  2. In a big bowl, mix cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and milk until smooth.
  3. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
  4. Add green beans and gently mix so they are coated.
  5. Spoon the mixture into the crock pot and spread it out evenly.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on LOW for 2.5 to 3.5 hours, or on HIGH for about 1.5 to 2 hours.
  2. Stir once about halfway through if you can, but do not stress if you forget.
  3. Right before serving, add French fried onions on top and let them sit for 10 to 15 minutes with the lid slightly ajar to keep them crisp.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container, refrigerating for about 3 to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or on low in a saucepan. Consider keeping the fried onions separate to maintain their crunch.
