A Timeless Classic

Every year at Thanksgiving and various other holidays there is one dish that always manages to appear on the buffet line.... Green Bean Casserole! I have always liked green bean casserole but never realized how truly amazing it can be. My friend Lindsey and I were shopping at Sam's Club and of course we were sampling our way through the store. One of the samples was green bean casserole. I hadn't had this dish since last Christmas (maybe even Thanksgiving). As the green beans entered my mouth a flood of emotions and memories flooded me. This was a timeless family dish - one that brought back happy memories of holidays gone by. So I decided I needed to try this recipe and perfect it for this Thanksgiving which we are hosting. I was amazed to find out this dish wasn't only delicious but easy to make as well.
Attempt #1 was last night and was amazing and perfect! Chad gave it a 5 star rating! Here is my recipe that I used. (I altered it slightly to make it more Weight Watchers friendly.)

Green Bean Casserole
Ingrediants
28 oz can of french style green beans
1 can of 98% fat free cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup of skim milk
2/3 cup French Fried Onions
(reserve another 1/3 cup for the top)
optional - pepper to taste (I left this out)

Mix the ingredients together in a dish and bake in the oven on 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Top with last 1/3 French Fried Onions for last 5 minutes.
ENJOY!
