Hi, I'm Rachel Edelman for About.com Food. Today I'm going to show you how to make a green bean casserole.

Green Bean Casserole Ingredients

For this recipe, you will need:

• 1 can (14.5 ounces) French style green beans
• 2 tablespoons diced pimiento
• 1 can (10 3/4 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 can fried onions

Casserole Topping

• 1/4 cup fine bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons melted butter

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Open and drain the green beans. Lightly butter a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish.

Combine the Casserole Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, add the green beans, diced pimiento, and finally the mushroom soup. Combine the ingredients well.

Pour the mixture in the casserole dish. Evenly distribute the mixture throughout the dish.

Make the Green Bean Casserole Topping

In a separate bowl, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and the melted butter. Combine it well so it becomes a crumbly mixture.

Sprinkle it over the top of the casserole. Instead of the homemade topping, you can also top the mixture with a can of fried onions.

Bake the Green Bean Casserole

Place the dish in the oven and bake, uncovered, for 25 to 30 minutes. When it's done, take it out of the oven.

You'll see how one side has the salty crispy onions and one side has the sweeter breadcrumbs. Take a spoonful of the side with your favorite topping and enjoy.
