Follow The Directions

01

Step
0 mins

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step
0 mins

In a 2-quart casserole dish, gently combine the drained green beans and sliced potatoes. In a separate bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of celery soup and milk until smooth. Pour the creamy mixture over the vegetables, ensuring they are evenly coated. Season generously with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a touch of garlic powder. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the French-fried onions for added depth of flavor. (10 minutes)

03

Step
30 mins

Sprinkle the remaining French-fried onions evenly over the top of the casserole, creating a tantalizing golden crust. (2 minutes)

04

Step
10 mins

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the onions are golden brown. While the casserole is baking, prepare the dry bread stuffing mix according to the package directions. (35 minutes)

05

Step

Once the casserole has baked for 30 minutes, carefully remove it from the oven and evenly spread the prepared stuffing over the top. Gently press the stuffing down with a spatula, ensuring it covers the entire surface of the dish, creating a delightful textural contrast. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Return the casserole to the oven for an additional 10 minutes, or until the stuffing is golden brown and wonderfully crunchy. For an extra touch of crispiness, broil for the last few minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning. (10 minutes)

For a richer flavor, try using cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup instead of cream of celery.
To add a hint of smokiness, consider incorporating a sprinkle of smoked paprika or a dash of liquid smoke to the casserole mixture.
Feel free to customize the vegetable selection by adding other favorites such as corn, peas, or carrots.
If you don't have French-fried onions, crushed potato chips or buttery crackers can be used as a substitute for topping.
