Green Bean Casserole
This Green Bean Casserole is seriously the best thing I ever ate! My sister is the keeper of the recipe. She make it every year. It’s her thing. It’s scrumptious. I love it. I always pray there is enough leftover for me to bring some home and have for lunch the next day!

I decided that I should share this recipe with my beloved readers, so I asked my Seestor if she would be so kind as to let me have the recipe to share.
She said YES!
But then I got her email with the ingredients. I emailed her right back and said, “Seriously….this is what’s in your FAMOUS Green Bean casserole?!!”.
“Yup..that’s all there is to it.”
“Hmmmmm are you sure you’re not holding something back on me?”
“NO! Yes! Sheesh. Why would I do that?”……….
Me…, “Cause you’re sassy!”
Here it is…… drum roll please!
Voila! This is seriously not legal.
I know I got some friends out there who are totally grossed out to the max right now. You can’t even believe I eat this stuff. I know who you are. And I love you…but I just gotta say…..
It’s time to dip your toe in my pool…come on in the waters fine. It’s just one day out of the whole gol darn year for heavens sake! I’ts not like I’m walking around the house lickin’ on a Velveetacicle!
Ok whatevs!
More for me and my Seestor!

Notes
OK sorry, I couldn’t leave it alone, I had to add pepper. About 10 cracks of fresh ground pepper. Everything could stand a little pepper. Spice things up a bit!!
So, are you gonna stick with your version? Or jump ship for my sisters? Come on over the waters fine!
STAY TUNED for more of my families favorite “healthy” Thanksgiving Dinner side dishes!!

Trust me people, you will not regret this! I do have to give a quick shout out to Aunt Marla who at some point in my life tipped me off on the addition of the CHEESE OF ALL CHEESES…..Velveeta. This delectable dish is so flipping good it can only rear it’s beautiful self once a year.
Ahhhh Aunt Marla…I shoulda known! She is also the best Scalloped Potato maker in the whole dern world.
I’m not hatin’ on this, Sheila! Definitely not a food snob and I have one tried-and-true casserole recipe I love that contains Velveeta. My green bean casserole has cheese it in too, cheddar, and bacon. I don’t think I’ve ever met a green bean casserole that I didn’t like.
MmmWAH! love you! Bacon in this casserole…why have I never thought of that! By Job I think you’re on to something ; D
OK, OK…this is not my favorite side dish of the Thanksgiving feast but maybe, just maybe, I will put a “glob” of it on my plate this year if it is filled with all that yummy stuff!
HA! I think its funny you knew I was talking about you…but there are others out there that feel the same way you do. So sad. xoxoxo
This is how my mother makes/has made green bean casserole for years! It is the best! But instead of putting the french fried onions on top before baking, she bakes it then puts them on and bakes it for about 5 more minutes. Sooo good! This is the only way I’ll eat green bean casserole.
Oh this is some seriously good stuff! Thanks for stopping by! xox Happy Thanksgiving! Sheila
Green bean casserole is my fave right next to the sweet potato bake. I’ve never had green beans with cheese, but we will try it this year – my two sons-in-law will eat everything. Have you ever tried golden mushroom soup in place of the regular? Adds a little “tang” – I like tang. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
I have not tried the golden mushroom soup…I will have to do that! Happy Thanksgiving to your family too Janey!! xo, Sheila
About how much bacon would you add?
I’ve never added bacon to this green bean casserole…but it sounds like it might be good.
Thanks! Does anyone know the answer to #7 question that I asked?
Also would you cook it until almost crisp before adding to the dish?
