Cooking Instructions:

1. Preparation of Green Beans: Wash and trim the ends of the green beans. You can cut them into bite-sized pieces if desired.

5. Pressure Cook: Close the Instant Pot lid securely and ensure the steam release valve is set to the sealing position. Select the ‘Manual’ or ‘Pressure Cook’ function and set the timer for 3 minutes on high pressure.
6. Release the Pressure: Once the cooking cycle is completed, allow the Instant Pot to naturally release pressure for about 5 minutes. Then, carefully turn the valve to release any remaining pressure manually.
7. Add Fried Onions: Open the lid, and gently stir the casserole. Fold in about 1 cup of the French fried onions, reserving the remaining onions for garnish.
8. Final Touch: Optional – for an extra crispy top, transfer the mixture to a baking dish and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and top with the remaining French fried onions.
9. Serve: Let the casserole sit for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Classic Creamy Green Bean Casserole as a delicious and comforting side dish!
