A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

Green beans with almonds is a side dish done best when done simply. Beans perfectly steamed, toasted almonds, and plenty of butter. Hint: toasting the almonds is key!

Green beans almondine taste absolutely delicious. The green beans are crisp tender and the almonds add a nice crunch to it as well. The browned butter helps to make a rich dish that is not too heavy. I would definitely recommend this dish for a side dish for any meal.

It seems kinda silly to rate such a basic recipe with five stars, but honestly - you can't beat the simplicity and good flavor of this recipe.
