Notes

  • Placing the cooked green beans into iced water helps the to keep their texture and not lose their bright green color.
  • If you don't like mushrooms, you can make this with cream of chicken soup as well.
  • Trim the ends off of the green beans before cooking as these can be tough to eat.
