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. You can make this filling up to 2 days in advance and store it refrigerated for convenience.
  2. Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tins: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease two muffin tins to prepare for baking 16 individual cups.
  3. Prepare Crescent Roll Dough: Unroll the crescent dough and pinch together 2 triangles to form a square. Repeat the process to create 8 squares from each package, totaling 16 squares.
  4. Assemble Casserole Cups: Gently place each dough square into the greased muffin tin cups to form a shell. Fill each dough cup with the prepared green bean filling. Top each with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1 cup of fried onions.
  5. Bake: Place the muffin tins in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through, and the filling is bubbly.

Notes

  • You can prepare the green bean mixture up to 2 days ahead and refrigerate to save time on the day of baking.
  • For a crispier texture, place the casserole cups on a wire rack after baking to cool slightly.
  • If desired, substitute cream of mushroom soup with a homemade mushroom sauce for a fresher flavor.
  • These casserole cups can be served as a side dish or a tasty appetizer.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
