Cheesy Green Beans

I adopted this recipe from Recipezaar in August 2006. I haven't tried the recipe, but I hope to very soon. Here is what the original poster said about this recipe: "My mom has been making this for years and no holiday is the same without it. The ingredients listed as optional are ones that I never put in and it always turns out just fine. I hope your family enjoys it as much as mine has through the years!"
