For Serving

  • 1 tablespoon Parsley Chopped fresh parsley makes for a beautiful garnish; it adds a pop of color and freshness to the dish.

Instructions

How to Make

  • Begin by setting your Instant Pot to sauté mode. Add a drizzle of olive oil and let it heat up for a minute to get things started.
  • Toss in the fresh green beans and sauté them for about 3-4 minutes. You want them to become bright green and tender but still maintain a lovely crunch.
  • Next, stir in your creamy cream of mushroom soup, milk, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix until everything is well combined and beautifully creamy.
  • Sprinkle in your salt and pepper. Give everything a good stir to ensure the flavors evenly coat the green beans.
  • Before sealing the lid, sprinkle half of the French fried onions on top. This will add a delightful crunch when the casserole cooks.
  • Securely seal the Instant Pot lid and set it to cook on high pressure for just 4 minutes. Once it’s done, let it release pressure naturally for 10 minutes, then carefully quick-release any remaining steam.
  • Give the casserole a gentle stir to combine everything. Top it off with the remaining French fried onions to add that final crispy, golden layer before serving.
  • Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for an added touch of color and flavor.

Notes

Use fresh green beans for the best texture; consider homemade cream of mushroom soup for enhanced flavor.
