THE traditional and quintessential green bean casserole is a 
Campbell's soup recipe, which can be found here:

And here's the actual recipe, copied and pasted:


Green Bean Casserole:
From: Campbell's Kitchen
Prep: 10 minutes
Bake: 30 minutes

Serves: 6



Ingredients:


1 can (10 3/4 oz.) Campbell's® Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup 
(Regular, 98% Fat Free or 25% Less Sodium)
1/2 cup milk 
1 tsp. soy sauce 
Dash ground black pepper 
4 cups cooked cut green beans 
1 1/3 cups French's® French Fried Onions 



Directions:



MIX soup, milk, soy, black pepper, beans and 2/3 cup onions in 1 1/2-
qt. casserole.

BAKE at 350°F. for 25 min. or until hot.

STIR . Sprinkle with remaining onions. Bake 5 min.

TIP: Use 1 bag (16 to 20 oz.) frozen green beans, 2 pkg. (9 oz. each) 
frozen green beans, 2 cans (about 16 oz. each) green beans or about 1 
1/2 lb. fresh green beans for this recipe.

For a change of pace, substitute 4 cups cooked broccoli flowerets for 
the green beans.

For a creative twist, stir in 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese with 
soup. Omit soy sauce. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup additional Cheddar cheese 
when adding the remaining onions.

For a festive touch, stir in 1/4 cup chopped red pepper with soup.

For a heartier mushroom flavor, substitute Campbell's® Condensed 
Golden Mushroom Soup for Cream of Mushroom Soup. Omit soy sauce. Stir 
in 1/4 cup chopped red pepper with green beans.

As for us, we are having ham and kielbassa for Christmas dinner, 
along with I don't know what side dishes yet.  I've decided to make a 
trifle for dessert, though.

Hmmm... for our weather here in Southwestern Pennsylvania, they're 
forecasting snow showers for Christmas Eve, and mostly cloudy for 
Christmas Day (though, a bit above freezing, so I expect everything 
to melt).
