        It is fucking delicious. And easy as shit to make too. It’s got like 4 ingredients and takes 30 mins start to finish. My family used to eat this a lot when i was growing up because we were poor and busy and this is cheap and easy. But its one of the “poor people” foods im most nostalgic about

        Ingredients

        • 1 can of cream of mushroom
        • 1/2 milk
        • 4 cups green beans (they don’t have to be fresh, canned or frozen can work too)
        • French Onions

        Cooking

        • Mix everything into a pan (except the onions) and cook at 350f for 25 mins
        • Sprinkle French Onions on top
        • Cook for another 5 minutes

        If you want to get really fancy you can sprinkle some shredded cheese on top after it cooks (I like Parmesan (but only the saw dust stuff in the tube), or sharp cheddar). It also makes great leftovers because it microwaves really well, and can be frozen and thawed with no issue.

          For non-unitedstatesians: “French Onions” does not refer to the nationalty of the alliums, or the manner in which they’re cooked. It is a specific product:

            It’s definitely also the name of the manner in which they’re cooked though, at least regionally here in the US.

                Just because they’re not called French’s French Fried Onions doesn’t mean they aren’t French fried onions.

                  Disagree. The can and brand matters for a fully authentic version.

                  You can do an elevated version that uses haricots vert and fried onions and homemade cream of mushroom made with shiitakes or chanterelles or something, but that’s kinda a different dish.

                    I don’t know what you’re disagreeing with, you didn’t address anything I said. Your misguided opinion on brandname gatekeeping doesn’t stop French’s fried onions from being French fried onions, so it just seems irrelevant.
