This is pretty much how we always make our green bean casserole (sometimes using canned frozen beans too depending on what I have at the time). I typically mix my cheese into the beans and soup mixture but followed instructions for this one. My family ate it happily - easy cheesy and creamy. Read More

I cooked green beans that were fresh more like twenty minutes. I also used a white cheddar cheese. I cooked 30 minutes without the grinch onion topping and then added the topping at my final destination and Cooke 5 -10 minutes more. I mixed the green beans cheese and condensed soup all together for the bottom layer. Delicious Read More

The fresh beans add a flavor I couldn't get with the canned ones. Four pounds of beans seemed like way too much until I snipped ends off and the amount was just right. Read More

Made this for Thanksgiving and it was a big hit! The fresh green beans really make a difference. Four pounds seemed like a lot but worked out perfectly after they were trimmed and cut. The only thing that I did different was mixing the cheese in with everything. I would definitely make this again! Read More
