Thanksgiving dish on a budget

Green Bean casserole in oven, only takes about 20-25 minutes to cook

The holidays are quickly approaching and we all know what that means! Food!

Family and friendly gatherings are nothing new to the holiday scene, but for students on a holiday budget, preparing a holiday treat can seem a bit pricey.

One of my favorite and least expensive holiday meals to make is green bean casserole.

Green bean casserole requires only a bag of jack and cheddar shredded cheese, two cans of green beans, two cans of mushroom soup and a bag of crispy onions.

There are many ways to add to the casserole like adding bacon bits, but I like to keep it simple and I always get compliments on this dish.

So let’s get started!

First preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 1: Pour 1 can of the green beans into a mixing dish without draining the liquid. (It adds extra flavor) Second pour all contents of the second can but drain the liquid of this can.

Step 2: Pour the two cans of the mushroom soup into bowl and make sure to mix thoroughly.

Step 3: Add a handful of jack and cheddar shredded cheese to the mix and make sure to mix thoroughly.

Step 4: Once oven reaches the desired temperature, place the dish into the oven for about 15 minutes.

Step 5: After 15 minutes, carefully remove the dish with oven mitts and add the whole bag of crispy french onions to the top. Then place it back into oven.

Step 6: After 15 minutes the green bean casserole should be hot and ready to serve about 10-12 people.

This is one of my favorite dishes to make, because I personally do not use any measuring cups. I base my measurements from a standard can.

Also this dish is extremely affordable, I only spent about $10 on the dish. Stater Brothers sells 79 cent cans of green beans and Target had 65 cent cans of mushroom soup.

A small bag of crispy french onions is under $2 and a bag of jack and cheddar cheese is also under $2.

If you are looking to make a yummy and affordable dish, then I think green bean casserole should be your first choice!
