• 4 cups green beans, ends trimmed and cut in half
• 1 can chicken broth
• 2 TBS butter
• 1 (4 oz.) package of white mushrooms, sliced
• 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1 tsp. soy sauce
• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 (6 oz.) can French-fried onions, divided
• 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

Place green beans and chicken broth in a medium saucepan. Add just enough water to cover green beans. Bring to a boil and simmer 10-12 minutes. Drain.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease a 1 1/2 quart baking dish.

Melt butter in a large skillet. Add mushrooms and cook until golden brown, stirring occasionally.

In a large bowl, mix together mushrooms, green beans, condensed mushroom soup, milk, cheddar, 1/2 cup of the French-fried onions, soy sauce and pepper.

Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish. Top with remaining onions.

Place in oven for 25 – 30 minutes, until bubbly and golden brown.
