Phoenix

Ingredients:
4 cans french cut green beans
2 cans mushroom soup
2 small cans sliced water chestnuts
1 small package of slivered almonds
1 large can Durkee fried onions

Mix all of the cans of beans and soup without adding any more liquid and stir in the almonds. Open cans of chestnuts and drain well. If you can’t find the kind already sliced, you can slice them up yourself and add to your bean mixture. Put mixture in a large casserole dish and top with the fried onions. Bake at 350 until the onions have browned.

The chestnuts and almonds give it a different, but wanting more taste.
