Ingredients:
- 2 cans (14.5 oz each) of green beans, drained (or 4 cups fresh green beans, trimmed)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- 1 can (6 oz) French fried onions
Instructions:
- Prepare the Sauce: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, sour cream, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well blended.
- Layer the Ingredients: Add the drained green beans to your crockpot. Pour the soup mixture over the green beans and gently stir to combine. If you’re adding cheese, sprinkle it on top of the green bean mixture.
- Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours. The casserole should be heated through and bubbly.
- Add the Topping: About 30 minutes before serving, sprinkle the French fried onions over the top of the casserole. Cover and continue to cook on low.
- Serve: Once the onions are golden and crispy, the casserole is ready to serve. Stir gently before serving to distribute the fried onions throughout the dish, or leave them on top for a crunchy contrast.
