Vintage Fresh Green Bean Casserole (circa 1956)

Ingredients

• 4 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
• 2 (10.75 ounce) cans cream of mushroom soup
• 1 pound sharp Cheddar cheese, grated
• 1 (6 ounce) can French-fried onions

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Heat a large saucepan of salted water to a boil; add green beans and cook just until slightly tender, about 5 minutes. Drain.

Mix green beans and cream of mushroom soup together in a bowl; spread into an 9×13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over green been mixture and top with French-fried onions.

Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and browned, about 30 minutes.
