ok, what's the best recipe for green bean casserole?

Answer 1

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.
Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes. Top with remaining onions. Bake 5 minutes more.

Note: *May substitute 18 ounces frozen cut green beans, thawed and drained.

Serving Size: 6

Answer 2

Boring, boring, boring recipe off the can of fried onions. This is much better and doesn't take much more time:

1 18ounce package frozen haricot vert green beans (or 2 10ounce bags young frozen whole green beans)
1/2 of a 10 ounce bag frozen pearl onions
1/4 lb bacon
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
1 can milk
1 small can French Fried Onion (French's or Durkee)
1 t Worcestershire
dash pepper

Chop the bacon and saute it in a skillet until fairly crispy. Add the pearl onions and brown for a few minutes. Add the soup, milk, Worcestershire and pepper. Stir in the green beans and transfer to a baking casserole dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Top with French Fried Onions and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes.

I've tried making a version of green bean casserole wtih fresh mushrooms where you basically make your own cream of mushroom soup - it doesn't add much to the flavor and it's a lot of work. Stick to the canned soup if you can stomach the sodium - or use the Healthy Request brand of Campbells.

Answer 3

I think the original one of the French's Fried Onion can is the best.

Original Green Bean Casserole

Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 35 minutes

1. Combine soup, milk and pepper in a 1 1/2 qt. baking dish; stir until blended. Stir in beans and 2/3 cup French's French Fried Onions.

2. Bake at 350ºF for 30 minutes or until hot. Stir. Sprinkle with remaining 2/3 cup French Fried Onions. Bake 5 minutes or until onions are golden.

*Or 2 cans (14 1/2 oz. each) cut green beans, drained.

Answer 4

This has been our family's favorite for ages.

1 lb french cut green beans (frozen)
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 1/4 cups milk, heated
1/2 tsp Colman's prepared mustard (dry mustard)
1/2 cup grated Cheddar cheese
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup blanched slivered almonds
Parmesan Cheese
Paprika
Cook the green beans according to package. Drain. Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the paste cooks and bubbles a bit, but don't let it brown — about 2 minutes. Add the hot milk, continuing to stir as the sauce thickens. Bring it to a boil. Add dry mustard, cheese, salt and pepper to taste, lower the heat, and cook, stirring for 2 to 3 minutes more. Combine sauce and green beans, stir in almonds. Pour into 1 1/2 qt. casserole. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese & paprika on top. Cook at 350 until edges begin to brown and sauce is bubbly.

Answer 5

I like buying the Cambell's Cream of Mushroom soup and adding that to the green beans. Then I top the beans with the Fried onions and bake it in the oven for 30 minutes. You can add salt or pepper when your done!

Answer 6

I usually don't "put down" a question, but I'd have to say the best recipe doesn't have mushroom soup and french-fried onions in it - I can't stand that stuff! (sorry)
I like green beans with bacon and onions.

Answer 7

i always follow the directions on the french fried onion can but i like to add a little velveeta cheese .. it turns out so creamy and gives it that little extra yummy factor!!

Answer 8

The original one that is on the back of the fried onion can.I don't know it off the top of my head
