Note

For a vegetarian version, use cream of mushroom soup instead of cream of chicken soup.

Fresh green beans can be substituted for canned. Blanch them in boiling water for 3-4 minutes, then shock in ice water and drain before using.

Cover with foil if the topping browns too quickly during baking.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350ðF until warmed through.

For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the soup mixture.
