Baby boomers fondly remember the simple classic green bean casserole as a Thanksgiving favorite. It is considered almost decadent these days with cream of mushroom soup and crispy fried onions on top. Feel free to make the noted substitutions to fit your diet, but it won't taste quite the same.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 cans (16 ounces each) cut green beans drained
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 can (10.10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 can (2.8 ounces) French-fried onions

PREPARATION:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. F.

Dump green beans, milk, cream of mushroom soup, pepper, and half of the fried onions into a large bowl and mix until combined.

Pour green bean mixture into a 1-1/2 quart casserole dish. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and top with the remaining fried onions. Bake an additional 5 to 10 minutes until onion topping is browned and crispy.

Notes: Green bean casserole is a traditional Thanksgiving comfort food for many, but enjoyed year-round. If you wish, you may substitute frozen or fresh green beans, non-fat or low-fat milk, and low-sodium cream of mushroom soup, but don't expect it to taste like the original that Mom or Grandma used to make!

Yield: 4 to 6 servings
