Ingredients
  

  • 1.0 cup fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1.0 cup pearl onions, frozen or fresh
  • 10.5 oz cream of mushroom soup
  • 1.0 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1.0 cup crispy fried onions
  • 1.0 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1.0 teaspoon onion powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2.0 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1.0 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 0.0 none Cooking spray (for greasing the muffin tin)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a medium-sized skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the green beans and pearl onions, and sauté for about 5 minutes, until they are slightly tender.
  • In a large bowl, combine the sautéed green beans and pearl onions with the cream of mushroom soup, half of the shredded cheddar cheese, half of the crispy fried onions, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet. Cut it into 12 squares, approximately 4x4 inches each. Gently press each square into greased muffin tins to form cups.
  • Spoon the green bean mixture evenly into each puff pastry cup, filling them to the top.
  • Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese and crispy fried onions on top of each filled cup.
  • Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crispy, and the filling is bubbling.
  • Once baked, allow the cups to cool slightly before gently removing them from the muffin tin. Serve warm as delightful snack-sized portions!

Notes

Use cooking spray to prevent sticking in the muffin tin.
