Green Bean

Casserole

Usually, I don’t do brand-name recipes but there is no getting around it with this recipe. This is a recipe that has become a holiday and potluck-dish tradition in many homes. It really needs to be made more often. It seems that everyone enjoys it. Depending on which package or label you check, the recipe is just slightly different. I find this variation gives good, consistent results. I prefer the French-cut green beans to the whole green beans or the cut green beans.

Preparation: 1 hour 30 minutes Life Experience Recipe
Serves 4 to 6 persons Traditional
Ingredients:
  • 1 10.75-ounce can condensed Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom Soup
  • Dash of salt
  • 2 9-ounce packages of French-cut green beans, thawed
  • ¾ cup milk
  • Dash of fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 1/3 cups French’s French Fried Onions

Mix soup, milk, salt, pepper and 2/3 cup of the onions in a 1 ½-quart casserole dish

Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes or until hot and beans are soft.

Stir. Sprinkle with the remaining onions. Bake an additional 5 minutes or until onions are browned and crisp.

Notes:

You may substitute 1 teaspoon soy sauce for the salt.

May add 1 4-ounce can sliced mushrooms, drained, as desired.

Add additional onions to the top of the casserole, as desired.

Sliced almonds make a tasty additional garnish. Add during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
