Servings:

Makes 4 servings

Ingredients:

  • 1 750-gram (26 ounce) bag of frozen green beans or 4 cups fresh 
  • 1 (284-milliliter) can of condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup (83 grams) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon (6 grams) garlic salt
  • pinch of salt and pepper

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C)
  2. In a medium casserole dish, add half of the green beans.
  3. Pour half a can of condensed mushroom soup over top and sprinkle with seasonings.
  4. Cover with ½ cup (41 grams) cheese and layer on the rest of the beans, then cover with the rest of the mushroom soup and cheese.
  5. Bake for 1 ½ hours, removing the casserole dish lid for the last 20 minutes.

Notes/Hints:

  • If the casserole dish is not non-stick, use cooking spray or grease with butter first.
  • Make this German by sprinkling about ½ teaspoon (3 grams) of summer savory over the green beans.
  • Use a variety of different types of cheese to mix it up! Cheddars melt well and pair best with beans. Try types like orange cheddar and sharp cheddar cheese. If you really like cheese, shred more to sprinkle on top of your plate. The added cheese gives this classic dish even more flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container or simply cover a bowl with saran wrap. The casserole will keep for a couple of days, refrigerated.
