Green Bean Casserole

(This is great for any occasion. Because the amount of each ingredient used varies according to the number of people,
I have not listed amounts. It is easy to have all ingredients on hand to get it ready quickly to take to a home
where a death has occurred.)

canned French-style green beans
canned sliced mushrooms (optional)
canned sliced water chestnuts
salt and pepper
sliced almonds - toast under broiler
cream of mushroom soup - do not dilute
French-fried onions

Place large colander in sink. Empty the green beans, mushrooms and water chestnuts into the colander together
and let drain long enough to be really dry. Place all in very large mixing bowl and toss. Add salt and
plenty of pepper, tossing again. Toast almonds on foil on a cookie sheet under broiler. Watch carefully so as not
to burn, but let toast long enough to release taste and aroma for the casserole. Add to mixture and toss again.
Add a little cream of mushroom soup at a time, mixing well; do not add so much that it becomes too moist.
I never use a whole can. Place into baking dish of appropriate size. Bake on middle oven rack about 30 minutes
at 350 degrees. When you see it bubbling hot, crumble the onions on top and run under broiler
until golden brown. Watch carefully.

Note: More often than not, I take this dish to someone's home. Then I will use a disposable aluminum baking dish
so it does not have to be returned. For a large family group, I may use as many as 5 cans of the green beans,
and then appropriate amounts of everything else.
