In our family one of the standards that we have every year is a Green Bean Casserole that my wife makes. It may not sound like one of those super fancy dishes but it’s a good solid favorite at the holiday table. Thanksgiving dinner wouldn’t be the same without it.

Start out by cranking the oven to 350 degrees. Then add all this to a mixing bowl:

5 cans green beans (drained)
1 1/2 cans cream of mushroom soup
A “splash” of milk (about 1/4 cup or so)
2 cans French fried onions

Mix everything until it’s got a creamy consistency. Stir in 1 of the cans of French fried onions and pour it into a 9in(?) casserole dish and bake for about 40 - 50 minutes or so. You can tell it’s done when it’s bubbling around the sides. (It’s easiest to tell if you’re using a casserole made of glass or something else that you can see through.)

When nearly done, add a layer of French fried onions on top and bake uncovered another 5 minutes or until the French fried onions start to brown.

You could use frozen green beans instead of canned, though the cooking time will be longer and you could also add some bacon.

[Edited to fix a time error. Once you add the French fried onions to the top you do NOT want to bake another 30 - 50 minutes!! Unless of course you LIKE Carbon!]
