One of the best things about Thanksgiving is discovering new recipes.  While we always enjoy green bean casserole, here’s a delicious twist on the old standard.  We saw the cheddar flavored French fried onions at the store but just couldn’t imagine that they could be good.  Boy were we wrong!  If you like green bean casserole, you really need to give this a try.

1    can (10 3/4 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup soup
1    cup shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese (4 oz)
1    teaspoon soy sauce
1    can green beans, drained
1    small red bell pepper, chopped (1/2 cup)
6 oz cheddar flavored French fried onions (see not below)

1.    Heat oven to 350°F. In 1 1/2-quart casserole, stir together soup, cheese blend and soy sauce. Stir in green beans, bell pepper and 1 cup of the onions.
2.    Cover; bake about 30 minutes or until beans are tender and mixture is heated through. Stir; top with remaining 1/2 cup onions.
3.    Bake uncovered about 5 minutes longer or until onions are brown and crisp.

If you have an Aldi near you they have there own brand of French-fried onions that cost about 1/2 what the French’s one do.
