Creamy Cheddar Green Bean Casserole Recipe Won't Disappoint (5 Ingredients) Casseroles High Protein Recipes Shortcut Recipes Budget Recipes Side Dishes Vegetables Vegetarian

Confession: green bean casserole is my least favorite on the Thanksgiving dinner table. Of course I like it, but the casserole is a bit boring to me. (I did fancy the traditional side dish up a couple years with my ultimate green bean casserole and creamy Creole green bean casserole recipes.) A friend of mine told me how her family makes green bean casserole – with condensed cheddar cheese soup and grated cheddar – and my mind is changed a bit about this green bean recipe.
