A good friend gave me this recipe. He brings it to his family's Thanksgiving every year, so I had to try it. My family loved it! It's similar to the green bean casserole I usually make. However...I did make it a little different. I omitted the croutons and 1/4 cup of butter(using only 3T to saute onions). After I mixed everything together...I topped with Italian bread crumbs. Very good, thanks for posting!

I was really hopeful of this one, but it was just kind of so-so. My daughter said it looked "yucky", so she wouldn't touch it. Maybe it needs more cheese, onions, seasoning or something.
