Green Bean Casserole


We had this the other night and it was soooo very yummy! A bit on the salty side, but I prefer such a tiny amount of salt. Next time I won't cook the beans in broth and see if it makes a difference. But really, it was really good just as is - the recipe is from Paula Dean. Meatloaf recipe in a seperate post.

INGREDIENTS:
1/3 stick butter (a US stick of butter is 1/4 the size of a Canadian block of butter - just in case you are in Canada!)
1/2 cup diced onion
1/2 cup sliced or chopped fresh mushrooms
2 cups green beans (I used frozen beans)
3 cups of chicken broth - don't use that if you are serving vegetarians!
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 2.8 oz can of fried onions - they usually are in the chip section - Durkee and French's are 2 popular brands
1 cup grated cheddar cheese - I used a pre-shredded mix of maybe 3 different cheeses
pinch of black pepper and garlic powder

DIRECTIONS:
Saute onions/mushrooms in butter.
Boil beans in broth for 5-7 minutes and drain.
Mix everything together (except the cheese).
Spread into a 8X8 or 9X9 GREASED baking dish
Bake 15-20 minutes at 350
Top with cheddar and bake another 10 minutes
