There are some things that are just expected at the Thanksgiving table, from turkey (duh) to cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie. In my humble opinion, green bean casserole undoubtedly belongs on that list. There are tons of new versions available on the internet, from adding pasta to making it completely from scratch. While all of that is fine and dandy, sometimes you just need to grab a can of Campbell's cream of mushroom soup and go to town.

Step 3
Cut the green beans into 1-inch pieces and immerse in boiling water for 4-5 minutes until bright green and tender.
#SpoonTip: Make this recipe even faster by buying a steam-in-bag package of green beans. Steam 'em first, and chop into pieces after they've cooled.
