I'm glad I tried this. I don't really care for the "classic" green bean casserole, but this is different. It's much tastier and more colorful. (It has more "kid-appeal" too, because of the cheese ;). I used 98% FF cream of mushroom soup, otherwise I made this exactly as written. I'm glad that I found this recipe. This will be on my Thanksgiving menu for this year! Thanx for posting!

Absolutely wonderful. I used real bacon bits instead of frying bscon.

These were really, really good. I did not have any pimiento so I used some red pepper I chooped finely. Definitely will make these again!
