22 oz frozen green beans we have used 2 cans instead but frozen comes out fresher tasting
1 can cream of mushroom soup any brand, I use whatever is on sale really
1/2 cup milk whole or 2%
1/4 tsp Garlic salt
1 1/2 cup fried onions French's
8 strips bacon cooked, can use real bacon bits or turkey bacon if desired
1 pinch salt and pepper
1 cup mushrooms sliced - optional

First add your frozen green beans (or canned but frozen turns out better visually and isn't as mushy)
Mix in 1/2 cup of milk and soup into an oven safe dish (spray 9x13" pan with non stick spray first)
Cook your bacon until slightly crisp and then chop up into small pieces and add to your bowl.
If you like cooked mushrooms, slice them up without stems and add them too.
I shake some garlic salt on top, maybe 1/4 tsp, a bit of salt and pepper, and 1/2 cup of the fried onions. Fold ingredients together so onions don't get totally smashed.
Empty mixture into dish that has been sprayed with non stick spray, then cover with foil. Bake for 25 min. at 350 degrees.
Remove from oven, take off foil and shake another 1/2 - 1 cup of fried onions to the top Put back into the oven for 5 more minutes just so they get crispy.
