Green Bean Casserole

This is my tasty green bean casserole which is usually a hit. It is basically your standard GBC but with a punch of cheese and mushrooms. This is the only GBC made at Thanksgiving and there is never any left. Of course, there are usually about 20 people at dinner so that is a factor too ;) This recipe is easily doubled for more people.

Ingredients
  • 3 cans Green Beans Cut (drained)
  • 1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup
  • 1 can Cream of Chicken Soup
  • 1 can Mushrooms (pieces and stems) (drained)
  • 2 cups of Shredded Cheese
  • 1 big can of French's Original Fried Onions
  • Splash of Milk



Directions

Preheat oven to 350


Combine all ingredients into an oven safe bowl less a handfull or two of the cheese and fried onions (we will be layering these on the top after everything is mixed together)



Mix everything together and take the remaining cheese and make a thin layer on top of the casserole. Cover with fried onions.

Bake at 350 for about 30-40 minutes so that the top is golden brown.



Eat!!!

Hope you Enjoy!
