How to Make Forget The Cans Real Green Bean Casserole

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Steam 1 pound of fresh green beans in a steamer basket until al dente (about 5-7 minutes).
While green beans are steaming, sauté 1 cup of diced onions and 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms in the melted butter until softened (about 5-7 minutes).
In a greased 1 1/2-quart baking dish, combine the cooked green beans, onion and mushroom mixture, 10.75 ounces (1 can) of cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic salt. Stir gently to combine.
Bake for 25 minutes.
Remove the casserole from the oven.
Top with 2 cups of fried onions and 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese).
Set oven to broil and return the casserole to the oven for 1-3 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly. Watch closely to prevent burning.
