A classic dish very popular during the festival occasion of thanksgiving in the United States! Green bean casserole is a casserole consisting of green beans, cream of mushroom soup, and french fried onions. I was thinking of this dish for quite a while to add to my international recipe category. Had to go on for couple of iterations to finally get it to my satisfaction.

Ingredients 

1. Green beans (trip edges) : ½ kg.
2. Water
3. Salt

For sauce:

4. Butter : 1 Tbl-sp
5. Sliced onion( medium) : 1
6. Cream of mushroom  : 1 packet
7. Milk  : ½ cup
8. Pepper powder  : 2 Tbl-sp ( adjust to your taste)
9. Salt for taste

For baking:

10. Bread crumbs : ¼ cup
11. Sliced almonds  : ¼ cup
12. Fried French onion  : 1 tin

Method

• In a big vessel add enough water (see the pic ) and boil well.
• Once it is well boiled, add the beans, salt and cook it for exactly 5 minute.
• Drain the water and keep the beans aside.

• Keep a kadai/ pan in the stove, add the butter and wait to melt.
• Add the onion and fry it until the color became brown .
• Then add the cream of mushroom along with milk , stir it and boil it for about 3-4 minutes and switch off the stove.
• Check the salt, (cream of mushroom will have some added salt) , add if needed.

• Add the green beans into the sauce and mix it.
• In a bowl combine the bread crumbs and almonds .
• Preheat the oven 350 degree Fahrenheit .
• Grease an oven safe dish and fill the green beans sauce .
• On top of that add the almonds  mixture, followed by the fried onions.
• Bake it about 20-25 minutes. At this point the bubbles starts coming from the sides.

Tips:-

• Here I used low fat cream of mushroom.
• Don’t put salt in the beginning of the sauce preparation, because the cream of mushroom have salt.
• Take tender beans for making this recipe.
