Ingredients
2 cans (14 1/2 ounces each)
any style Del Monte® Green Beans, drained

3/4 cup milk

How to make green bean casserole
Step 1:
Mix cream of mushroom soup, milk, and pepper in a 1 1/2-quart baking dish.
Step 2:
Stir in green beans and 2/3 cup of French's® Original Crispy Fried Onions.
Step 3:
Bake in a pre-heated oven at 350°F for 30 minutes or until hot. Stir.
Tip: Make green bean casserole with canned, frozen (thawed) or fresh green beans. If using fresh green beans, they work best when blanched beforehand so they fully cook in the oven along with the creamy mushroom sauce.
Step 4:
Top with remaining 2/3 cup of onions. Bake 5 minutes longer or until the onions are golden brown.
Make it ahead of time
