30 ounces green beans, canned, drained

10 3/4 ounces Cream of Mushroom Soup

3/4 cup milk

2 3/4 ounces French-fried onions

1/8 teaspoon pepper

Combine green beans, soup, milk, pepper and 1/2 of the onions; gently stir together to mix well. Spread mixture in a 1 1/2 to 2 quart ovenproof casserole dish.

Green Bean Casserole Amandine

2 cups French-Style green beans

1/2 cup celery, thinly sliced

1 shallot, finely minced

2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

1 10 oz can Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom Soup

1/2 cup water (from cooking the vegetables)

1/2 teaspoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon Kosher salt (for the boiling water)

1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon butter, melted

1/4 cup slivered almonds

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a large saucepan, bring 3 quarts water to a boil; add 1 tablespoon Kosher salt.

If fresh green beans are not available, frozen may be used. Add beans and celery to boiling water and cook just until tender but not soft. Using a slotted spoon, transfer cooked vegetables to a bowl filled with ice and water. Green beans should still be a bright green color when cooled.

Butter a casserole baking dish and transfer vegetables to dish. Combine 1/2 cup of the vegetable cooking water, 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce and the mushroom soup. Pour over vegetables.

Heat almonds, garlic and shallot with butter in the microwave until butter melts. Sprinkle buttered almonds over the top of the casserole, along with any remaining butter.

Bake at 350F for 20-25 minutes or until top is bubbly and lightly browned.
