Instructions
- Cook the green beans in a medium saucepan according to package directions. Drain well and set aside.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large frying pan. Add the onions and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they are translucent.
- While the onions are sauteing, clean the mushrooms, halve the small ones and quarter the large ones. Add them to the translucent onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they give up their liquid and most of it has cooked off.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Stir the soup and the milk into the onion mixture. Add about half the can of fried onions, then stir in the Worcestershire, vinegar, brown sugar, mustard, hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper and pecans.
- Stir in the green beans and adjust seasonings. Turn the mixture into a 1 1/2-quart baking dish and bake 25 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining half-can of onions over the top of the mixture and bake an additional 5 minutes.

Among the many people enchanted by the book was producer and foodie Sally Swift, who thought the time could be right for a radio program on food.
