Ingredients

Scale

Green Bean Mixture

  • 1 (14.5-ounce) can organic cut green beans
  • 2 (10.5-ounce) cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 2 cups fried onions, divided
  • 1½ teaspoons garlic powder

Dough

  • 2 packages crescent rolls

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the green beans, condensed cream of mushroom soup, milk, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 1 cup of fried onions, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly. The filling can be made up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated for convenience.
  2. Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tins: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease two muffin tins to hold 16 individual cups.
  3. Prepare Crescent Roll Dough: Unroll the crescent dough and pinch together 2 triangles to form a square. Repeat for all dough pieces to make 16 squares from two packages.
  4. Assemble Casserole Cups: Place each crescent dough square gently into the greased muffin tin cups forming a shell. Fill each shell with the prepared green bean mixture. Top with remaining 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1 cup fried onions.
  5. Bake: Bake the muffin tins in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent dough turns golden brown, is fully cooked, and the filling is hot and bubbly.

Notes

  • The filling can be prepared up to 2 days ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
  • Use organic or fresh green beans for a fresher taste if preferred.
  • Ensure muffin tins are well greased to avoid sticking.
  • Customize topping with extra fried onions or cheese as desired.
  • Serve warm for best flavor and texture.
