Note

Ensure frozen green beans are thoroughly thawed and drained before adding to the soup mixture to prevent excess wateriness.

For best texture, add the final layer of fried onions just before serving or during the last few minutes of baking to maintain crispness.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
