Recipe Introduction


"Simply scrumptious" was the echo I heard when I asked family members to tell me honestly what they thought of this cheesy, creamy, baked veggie dish. I think Cliff could eat this once a week for a year if I made it for him!
Serves 6





List of Ingredients



• 15 Ritz Reduced Fat Crackers, made into crumbs*
  
• 2 (16-ounce) cans cut green beans, rinsed and drained*
  
• 1/2 cup finely chopped onion*
  
• 1 (10 3/4-ounce) can Healthy Request Cream of Mushroom Soup*
  
• 3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded Kraft reduced-fat Chedder cheese
  
• 1/4 cup Hormel Bacon Bits
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8-by-8-inch dish with butter-flavored cooking spray. Layer half of cracker crumbs, half of green beans, and half of onion prepared baking dish. Spoon half of mushroom soup over top. Layer Chedder cheese, remaining green beans, and remaining onion over top. Spoon remaining mushrrom soup over all.
