It's green bean casserole, how difficult can it be? I used this recipe as a ratio guide. I always add garlic and onion powder, salt and pepper to the green beans and mushroom soup. I saw a suggestion to use sour cream instead of milk and I will definitely have to try that.

The sauce is really what makes this recipe. I've made this numerous times (very messy to make btw), and I find that the homemade sauce I usually make with hamburger and sausage makes this recipe 5*. If the sauce is sub-par the dish will be sub-par. That probably can go without saying, but I would recommend not skimping on the sauce for this. I do remember that I had to use more sauce than the recipe called for and I always add more cheese. I normally whip this up as a last minute dish if I've got leftover homemade spaghetti sauce in the freezer.

I've made this chili about 4 times now in the past year. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! The first 2 times I made it exactly as the recipe called for and it was a bit too soupy for my liking and didn't really have the LOOK of chili, but still was delicious. The last 2 times I've made it, I've used ground pork sausage instead of the Italian sausage and used about 2 medium sized cans of tomato sauce along with the diced tomatoes the recipe called for; it was absolutely delicious and definitely looked and tasted more like chili. I normally serve it with sour cream and corn bread. This is definitely my "go to" chili recipe.
