Green Bean Casserole

 
We knew green bean casserole was going to be on our Thanksgiving menu, but we hadn't found a recipe when we were at Trader Joe's and stumbled upon a package of fried onions that came with a recipe. We thought we would give it a shot. It turned out well, but next time I need to cook the green beans longer in the skillet, as they came out a bit underdone.
 
Ingredients
1 1/2 tablespoons butter (or margarine)
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 package slice crimini mushrooms (regular mushrooms work as well)
1/4 sweet onion, sliced
24 oz green beans
1 container Trader Joe's Cream of Portobello Mushroom Soup (canned mushroom soup would work as well)
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 cups swiss cheese, shreeded
about 4 oz fried onion pieces
 
Directions
 
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet; add mushrooms and saute until they become soft and lightly browned. Add onion and continue to saute until soft and lightly browned. Add green beans and saute until heated through. Add soup and water to skillet, mix and heat through. Add mixture to a small or medium size casserole dish. Top with cheese and fried onion pieces; place in oven and bake until cheese melts and becomes warm and bubbly, about 15 to 20 minutes. 

 
Enjoy!
