Definitely a cut above the usual green bean casserole (which I really didn't care for all that much!). This will certainly have a place on the dinner table frequently. Thnx for sharing, bk. Made for French Country Kitchen Herb of the Month - Paprika.

These are really good green beans!! I forgot the bacon; how could I do that!! However DH said I can replace his green bean casserole (I don't like) for the holidays with this as long as I add the bacon and maybe some fried onions. Made for Photo Tag.

Excellent green beans!!! I love the traditional green bean casserole, but none of my family like the creamy based dish, so I made this to serve 1 for a lunch side. I used a really small can of french style green beans (approximately 1/3 of the amounts listed) and followed as written. I like the no can of cream soup and the added flavor the bacon and cheese add to the dish. Thanks for sharing the recipe BK!! Made for WTTM Tag.
