Home-Style Green Bean Bake

Can you believe that Thanksgiving is in 1 week? As this most scrumptious and carb-filled holiday approaches, I find myself searching out more healthy, yet still psycholigically and emotionally fulfilling. (No one wants to eat rice puffs in place of mashed potatoes!)

Green bean caserole is a vastly popular dish, although not historically a favorite in our house, and this recipe sounds like it is not only packed full of flavor sure to please your tastebuds, but healthy for you as well.

Home-Style Green Bean Bake

Serves 6

Ingredients

• 2 9-ounce Packages frozen French-cut green beans or two 16 ounce cans French-cut green beans drained
• 1 10-3/4 ounce Can condensed cream celery or mushroom soup
• 1/2 cup Shredded cheddar or american cheese
• 1 2-ounce Jar diced pimiento, drained
• 1 16-ounce Can cut wax beans, drained
• 1/2 of a 2.8 ounce Can French-fried onions (3/4 cup) or 3/4 cup croutons, coarsely crushed

Preparation
Cook frozen green beans according to package directions: drain well. In a 1 1/2 qt casserole combine the soup, cheese, and pimiento. Stir in green beans and wax beans. Bake in 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until bubbly. Sprinkle with French-fried onions or croutons. Bake 5 minutes more.

Cook's Notes
To lower the fat and sodium, use low-fat cheddar cheese and reduced salt soup.
