Water chestnuts give this classic green bean casserole crunch, while crumbled bacon boosts the flavor.
INGREDIENTS (for 6 servings):
- 4 slices bacon
- 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 (15 ounce) cans green beans, drained
- ground black pepper to taste
- 1 1/3 cups French-fried onions
PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
In a 1-1/2 quart casserole dish, mix together the bacon, soup, water chestnuts, milk, green beans and pinch of black pepper.
