| Fried onion rings | 1 cup |

Cooking Instructions:
- Prepare the crockpot: Begin by greasing the inside of your crockpot with a little cooking spray or a light coating of olive oil to prevent the casserole from sticking.
- Mix the base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce, and black pepper. Stir the mixture until all the ingredients are well blended.

- Transfer to crockpot: Pour the green bean and soup mixture into the prepared crockpot, spreading it out evenly.

- Final touch: If you want the onions to be extra crispy, you can open the lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking and add a few more fried onion rings on top.
- Serve: Once done, turn off the crockpot and let the casserole sit for about 10 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together nicely. Serve warm and enjoy!
