  1. 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!
     
  2. Absolutely wonderful. I used real bacon bits instead of frying bscon.
     
  3. 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!
     
  4. A Most Excellent Tasting Recipe!!!!!!!
     
  5. Wow these were really good. I don't like the "traditional" green bean casserole but we loved this. I didn't add the onions or the pimientos but followed the rest of the recipe as written. I cooked it on high for 3 hours. Will be making this again.

  1. This was tasty but for some reason it wasn't a big hit on Christmas Day. Could be that we did a buffet and it got missed. I used fresh mushrooms and diced red pepper in place of the pimento. Nice change from green bean casserole and loved that I could just throw it in the crock-pot and save space in the oven.
     
  2. Loved your green bean recipe, although I must admit that I did leave out the mushrooms (used a quarter cup of sliced chestnuts) & substituted cream of potato soup for the mushroom kind! I also used a generous half cup of Hormel's Real Bacon Pieces in place of the fried & crumbled bacon! Maybe that was a lot of substitutions, but it still remained a wonderful tasting green bean dish! Thanks for sharing it! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]
     
  3. Easy, tasty dish; perfect for a potluck. I subbed cream of onion for the mushroom soup & cooked on low for 6 hours. The onions still had a bit of a crunch & we liked that! Thanks for posting!

I was one of the original members of Recipezaar that was truly a community of individuals that enjoyed each other in forums and chat rooms. I've been a member of this site since 2003. Made some tremendous friends that I still think of often. I'll continue coming here because my recipes are here and so many more that I tried over the years as a member. It's just a tad boring now and just another recipe site like all the rest. Sad.
