Equipment

Ingredients

  • 24 wonton wrappers or 5 sheets phyllo dough*
  • ⅓ cup butter melted
  • 10 ounces canned green beans drained
  • 1 (10.5 ounce can) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 ½ cups sharp cheddar shredded, divided
  • ½ cup crispy French fried onions divided*
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Brush each side of the wonton wrappers with melted butter and place into muffin tin. Bake for 7-8 minutes or until browned and crisp.
  • Mix drained green beans, mushroom soup, 1 cup cheddar, ¼ cup crispy onions, and black pepper in a bowl. Fill the wonton cups with the mixture.
  • Gently crush the remaining onions and combine with remaining cheese. Sprinkle over the bean mixture.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cheese is melted and wontons are browned.
  • Cool for about 3 minutes and serve warm.

Notes

  • French fried onions are sometimes called French's Fried Onions, since that is the most common brand name. 
  • Cook wonton wrappers and prepare the filling ahead of time and refrigerate separately until ready to bake.  
  • Refrigerate cooked and filled wonton cups for  2-3 days, or freeze for up to a month. Freeze on a parchment-lined cookie sheet, then transfer to an airtight container.
  • Reheat in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes or until heated through.  
 
*To make cups with phyllo dough:
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F and thaw dough according to package directions.
  2. Stack sheets of dough one on top of the other, brushing with melted butter between each layer.
  3. Cut into 3.5" x 3.5" squares. Gently press into a mini muffin tin. Poke the bottom of the dough with a fork to allow steam to escape.
  4. Bake 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and gently press down the center with a spoon. Return the cups to the oven and continue baking 4-6 minutes or until golden and crisp.
  5. Once baked, immediately remove from muffin tin.
