Green Bean Casserole

Ingredients:
2 lbs haricots verts (French thin green beans)
2 large red onions, finely diced
8 tbsp (1/2 cup or one stick) butter, unsalted
2 (10-oz) cans cream of mushroom soup
3 tomatoes, seeded & diced
4 cans French-fried onions [i thought this was a lot so i only used 1 6oz-can]
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

1. Blanch the haricots verts in hot water for about 3-5 minutes, remove from the heat and shock in iced water. Drain and set aside to cool
2. Preheat oven to 325. In a large skillet sauté the chopped onion in the butter. Then add the cooled beans and sauté for a couple of minutes. Add the canned mushroom soup and mix well.
3. Transfer to a buttered casserole dish and top with the diced tomato, French-friend onions and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
4. Bake in oven for about 10 minutes.

*Notes:
Overall, it was pretty good. the bad part was that it was awful onion-y i think next time i’m going to use half the amount of onion, i’ll add some chopped chicken, only 2 tomatoes next time and maybe one more of those cans of French-fried onions. there were also smaller cans (like 2oz i think) and i think i’d just add one of those.

p.s. i made this last night for dinner. i’m only posting it today cause i didn’t have time to last night :)
