I used mild, shredded cheddar, and thought it was fabulous, a bigger cheese punch than Velveeta. I was short on lemon juice, but you can tell, biting into a forkful, how much the other half of the lemon juice will be next time. Great idea! Tell your dad I sent it to one of my boys.. :) -
Really good, this was a nice change to plain old canned green beans. I didn't have any cheese except Smoked Gouda so I made it using that. YUM! I think this is the kind of recipe that would adapt well using a large variety of cheeses -
This recipe was great and quick. A wonderful side dish. Even my kids liked it. I suggest using french cut green beans, they hold the sauce better.
