This sounds great - but I have a question and can't see any other way to ask it than to click the Review button. Is the stuffing mix to be spread dry on top of this casserole, or should the stuffing be prepared according to package instructions? Thanks, T. O. M.

Hi Laurie, what a nice change this dish is! It combines the stuffing and green beans beautifully and is a great take on a "Green Bean Casserole"! We used fresh green beans, our own cream of mushroom soup(which is what we had for lunch)and 3 cups of mushrooms - it was really wonderful! We enjoyed it thoroughly and are going to serve it for our Thanksgiving meal. Thanks so much for sharing, it is a definite keeper, Diane :)

We love this - it's a staple at our house, and a nice updated addition to the Thanksgiving table too!
