Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Step 2: Mix the Filling
In a large bowl, combine:
- Cooked green beans
- Cream of mushroom soup
- Sour cream
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- Diced onion
- Garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Stir until everything is well mixed and coated in creamy goodness.
Step 3: Assemble the Casserole
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the crushed crackers with the melted butter, then sprinkle the buttery topping evenly over the casserole.
Step 4: Bake
Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly and the top is golden brown.
Let sit for 5–10 minutes before serving—it helps everything settle and slice beautifully.

Why It’s Called “Amish”
