Ingredients Quantity
Fresh green beans 1 pound
Cream of mushroom soup 2 cans (10.5 oz each)
French fried onions 1.5 cups
Milk ½ cup
Soy sauce 1 tablespoon
Black pepper ½ teaspoon
Garlic powder ½ teaspoon
Onion powder ½ teaspoon
Salt To taste

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.
  2. Sauté in Instant Pot: Set your Instant Pot to the ‘Sauté’ function. Once it’s hot, add a splash of oil if needed, and then add the trimmed green beans. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes until they are slightly tender. Stir occasionally to ensure they don’t stick.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Stir until all ingredients are combined smoothly.
  4. Add Mixture to Green Beans: Turn off the ‘Sauté’ function. Pour the soup mixture over the sautéed green beans in the Instant Pot. Stir well to ensure all green beans are coated with the creamy mixture.
  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.
