Notes
Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Reheat: Microwave in a covered dish until heated through, or bake at 350°F until warm.
Make Ahead: Assemble up to 3 days in advance (without topping). Bring to room temp, add fried onions, and bake as directed.
Soup Swap: Use cream of celery or cream of onion if not a fan of mushrooms.
Topping Alternatives: Try Ritz crackers if you don’t like crispy onions.
Fresh Beans: Substitute with ~5 cups fresh cooked green beans.
Cheesy Twist: Mix in or top with 1–2 cups shredded cheddar.
Oven Flexibility: Can also bake at 350°F for slightly longer until sauce is bubbling.
