Ingredients
Green Beans - I used fresh string beans for this recipe. Substitute canned or frozen if you prefer.
Condensed Mushroom Soup- Use about a ½ a can.
Sour Cream - Helps to thicken up the soup really nicely. Substitute heavy cream if you prefer less sour.
Butter - I love salted butter, but unsalted would work perfectly
Fried Crispy Onions - The star of the show, I prefer French’s Fried Onions or jalepeno fried onions for a little kick.
