12 oz. frozen green beans

3. Momentarily, take the skillet off of the heat and stir in the flour and seasonings to coat the vegetables in the pan.
4. Slowly stir in the milk to the mixture and return to the heat until somewhat thickened.

Tips:

For a creamier casserole, you can use a combination of milk and half-and-half.
To add more flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a squeeze of lemon juice for a bit of tangy flavor.
For a healthier option, use low-sodium tuna and low-fat milk.
Serve with a side of crusty bread or a green salad.
Enjoy this comforting and nutritious dish!
