Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups fresh green beans trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces (or two 14.5 oz cans, drained)
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 1 cup mushrooms sliced (optional)
  • 2 cans halal cream of mushroom soup 10.5 oz each
  • 1 cup halal sour cream
  • 1 cup halal cheddar cheese or Colby Jack shredded
  • 1 cup crispy fried onions divided
  • 1/2 cup halal milk
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt adjust if using canned beans

Equipment

  • Slow cooker
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Coat slow cooker with nonstick spray or butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and milk until smooth.
  3. Add garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the mixture.
  4. Stir in chopped onion, mushrooms (if using), half of the shredded cheese, and half of the crispy fried onions.
  5. Place green beans in the greased slow cooker and pour the creamy mixture over them.
  6. Stir gently until beans are evenly coated.
  7. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours.
  8. During the last 15-20 minutes, sprinkle remaining cheese and crispy fried onions on top and cook uncovered until golden.

Notes

Fresh green beans provide the best texture, but canned beans work well too - just drain them well and adjust salt accordingly. For dairy-free versions, use coconut milk and dairy-free cheese alternatives. You can add protein by including diced ham or crumbled bacon. For extra crunch, try adding water chestnuts or toasted almonds. The dish can be made ahead and reheated, though the crispy onion topping is best added just before serving.
