New Green Bean Casserole

Cooking Instructions

Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 2-qt shallow baking dish with nonstick spray.

Bring a 4- to 5-qt pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add beans; cook 7 to 8 minutes until crisp-tender. Drain and return to pot.

Meanwhile, melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots and mushrooms; sauté 5 minutes, or until lightly browned and liquid from mushrooms evaporates. Add to beans. Pour on soup, toss gently to coat; transfer to baking dish.

Top with French-fried onions. Bake 30 minutes, or until hot and bubbly and onions are crisp.

Note: Instead of fresh green beans, you can use 2 lb (12 cups) cooked, frozen.

Planning Tip: Can be prepared through Step 3, covered and refrigerated up to 1 day ahead. Bring to room temperature before baking.
