green bean casserole tip

this is what happens when you don't follow instructions.  you know that delicious green bean casserole with fried onions and cream of mushroom soup?  i made some recently and used frozen green beans.  last time i made them with canned beans and they're a weird, gross grey green color.  frozen green beans pretty much keep the same color as fresh beans.  anyway, the recipe said to thaw the beans but did i listen?  nope.  i tossed them in frozen, just thinking that they'll cook in the oven.  when the casserole was done, the beans were merely warm.  they'd be so much better HOT!  i'll remember for next time.  here's the recipe, it's really easy--so easy even i can make it :o)
 
Ingredients:
1  (10 3/4 oz.) can  CAMPBELL'S® Cream of Mushroom Soup
