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
- 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.
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tins: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease two muffin tins to hold 16 individual cups.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
