# What You'll Need:

→ Produce

01 - 1 can (14.5 oz) canned green beans, drained

→ Frozen Foods

02 - 1 package (16 oz) frozen O’Brien potatoes (diced potatoes with onions and peppers)

→ Dairy

03 - 1 cup shredded Colby and Monterey Jack cheese blend
04 - 1 cup shredded Colby and Monterey Jack cheese blend (reserved for topping)
05 - 1/2 cup whole milk

→ Canned Goods

06 - 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup

→ Seasonings

07 - 3/4 teaspoon garlic salt
08 - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

→ Snacks

09 - 2 2/3 cups French’s® crispy fried onions, divided

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, whole milk, garlic salt, and black pepper. Stir in the frozen O’Brien potatoes, drained green beans, 1 1/3 cups of the crispy fried onions, and 1 cup of shredded cheese until well mixed.
02 - Transfer the mixture evenly into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes or until heated through and bubbly.
03 - Remove the baking dish from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup cheese and 1 1/3 cups crispy fried onions evenly over the top. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the onions are lightly browned.
04 - Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the enhanced green bean casserole with the added texture and flavor of diced potatoes.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - To prepare fresh potatoes instead of frozen O’Brien potatoes, finely dice and parboil them to ensure even cooking.
02 - For a mushroom-free version, substitute cream of mushroom soup with cream of chicken or cream of celery.
03 - This casserole can be made ahead and frozen unbaked for up to 3 months; thaw in the refrigerator overnight before baking.
04 - Leftovers should be refrigerated in a covered container and consumed within 3 days.
