Ingredients:

2 6-ounce cans tuna, drained
16 ounce bag frozen French cut green beans
3 ounces (about 8 small) fresh mushrooms, chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion

2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup chicken broth
3/4 cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper, to taste
8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese

Cooking Instructions:

In a medium pot, cook the green beans as directed on the package; drain well. Meanwhile, saute the mushrooms, celery and onion in the butter until very soft and starting to brown a bit. Add the broth; bring to a boil. Let liquid reduce by half, then stir in the cream. Bring to boil and cook until reduced, starting to thicken and turning brownish from the mushrooms. Season to taste. Stir the tuna and mushroom soup into the green beans. Add salt and pepper, if needed. Mix in the cheese; put into a 1 1/2 - 2 quart casserole. Microwave or bake until hot and bubbly.
