Garlicky Green Bean Casserole

Serves: 4
WW Points per Serving: 2 (approximately 1 cup)

2/3 cup - Water
4 - Garlic Cloves, minced
1 (16 ounce) pkg. - Frozen Cut Green Beans
1 can - Reduced-Fat, Reduced-Salt Cream of Mushroom Soup, undiluted
1 cup - Coarsely Crushed Onion Melba Toast (about 10 rectangular crackers), divided
1/4 tsp. - Salt
1/4 tsp. - Pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine water and garlic in a saucepan; bring to a boil and cook 2 minutes. Add green beans, return to boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer 8 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain beans, reserving cooking liquid. Set beans aside.

Return cooking liquid to pan; bring to a boil, and cook 2 minutes or until reduced to 2 tbsp. Add soup, stirring until smooth. Add green beans, 1/2 cup melba toast, salt and pepper. Spoon mixture into a 1-quart casserole dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup melba toast evenly over casserole; coat generously with cooking spray.

Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
