Another Green Bean Casserole

"This is not like any of the other one's on the site. I have no idea where the "recipe" came from, I Just know it is the only one that is made for holiday gatherings at our house. I have given this to several people over the years and everyone loves it. I am providing the small version of this recipe as when I make it I double it."

  1. This was very good. I used my frozen green beans that I put up last year, cooked them for about 5 minutes. I melted the cheese and cream of mushroom soup in a separate pan, then added it to the green beans and onion mixture. I left out the French-fried onions for personal preference (we don't like them) and added some crumbled bacon on top. It turned out really well. Love the flavor of the cheese and mushroom soup. thanks.
     
  2. This was my #2 recipe for Pick A Chef. I have had many green bean casseroles in my time and this was different but good. I love Velveeta but only used 1/2 lb. Also I didnt wait for the liquid to evaporate so drained half off to save time. Served this with your Crockpot Chicken & Pasta! Thanks for a good side dish:)

I am a mother of one and a step mom to one. I work full time. I love to cook, it is my therapy. I love experimenting with different foods and I am fortunate enough to have a husband and my daughter that love it also (my step daughter is very picky). At least 3 nights a week we try a new recipe and they actually look forward to it! <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/200_artistrichardneuman-art-prints_.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting">
