Green Bean Casserole

Thanksgiving would not be Thanksgiving for me without the Green Bean Casserole. Now, I tend to just make the traditional French’s recipe every year. Now when I started the turkey giveaway last week, I was reading all of your comments. Let me just tell you I enjoyed all of them.
I had a few laughs and shed a few tears. It was so fun to read all of your Thanksgiving stories. Anyway, someone had mentioned a green been casserole they love and that they got the recipe from allrecipes.com. So of course, I went over there to check it out. It was a recipe that didn’t use any cream of mushroom soup. So out of curiosity, I made it. I did adapt it a little from the original.
Green bean casserole wouldn’t be complete for me without the French’s French fried onions on top. So I didn’t add the diced onion listed in the original recipe. The original was also top with Ritz crackers and a little butter, but I used the French fried onions. So if you want a recipe that doesn’t require cream soup, this is a good one. Everyone enjoyed it! They especially enjoyed the addition of the shredded cheese.
