Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 14.5 oz. cans Cut Green Beans drained
  • 1 10.5 oz. can Cream of Mushroom Soup
  • 1 cup White Cheddar Cheese, shredded plus extra for topping
  • 1 cup French Fried Onions plus extra for topping
  • 1 pkg or sheet Puff Pastry
  • 3/4 tsp Salt I used pink sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Black Pepper

Equipment

  • 12-count Muffin Pan
  • Silicone Baking Cups or Non-Stick Cooking Spray if you use a silicone muffin pan you can skip the baking cups or spray
  • Collander
  • large mixing bowl
  • spatula
  • Large spoon or ice cream scoop

Instructions
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C)
  2. Grease a muffin pan or use a silicone muffin pan or muffin baking cups
  3. Open and drain the green beans and put them in a large bowl
  4. Add the cream of mushroom soup, the shredded cheese, the French-fried onions and the salt and pepper. Stir to combine and set aside
  5. Cut the puff pastry sheet into 12 equal squares and place a square in each muffin cup.
  6. Using an ice cream scoop or a large spoon, fill the muffin cups with the green bean mixture almost to the top.
  7. Add a little extra shredded cheese and crispy fried onions to the top of each cup.
  8. Bake the mini green bean casseroles for approximately 25 minutes or until bubbly and the tops are turning golden brown. 

Notes

  • Don’t Overfill. These are not like eggs that rise a lot when cooking, so you can fill them close to the top. Fill the cups almost full, but leave about 1/2 to 1/4 inch to add the extra cheese and fried onion topping. You want to fill the cup, but you don't want the mixture to bubble over. 
  • Let the Casseroles Cool Before Removing. Letting the casseroles cool for about 10 minutes helps them set so you can pop them out without falling apart.
