10 stars! Today I left the recipe out for my husband to make while I worked. He states the only changes he made was to add more bacon (6 strips) and used SMOKY MAPLE bacon. He used fresh cut (or whole cut green beans - not French style). Was awesome!!!!!!! a new favorite!

So much better than the same ol' traditional recipe. I used real bacon bits instead of slices of bacon, just to make it a little easier (it was Thanksgiving after all). I will be making this again next year...if not sooner :)

I made this for Easter dinner. Everyone loved the crunch of the waterchestnuts and the flavor of the bacon with the green beans. This recipe is so much better than the traditional green bean casserole I used to make. Here are the changes I made: a little less milk, used a 5 ounce can of waterchestnuts, added plenty of french fried onions and bacon on the inside and on top of the casserole. Thanks for the easy and tasty recipe!

I used maple bacon and the taste was phenomenal. The trick is to get the bacon SUPER crispy.

This came out just like my Mom's used to be, when I was growing up. She always used water chestnuts and bacon and that's what makes this casserole stand out! It was just perfect on Thanksgiving with a turkey breast made in the crock pot, cornbread stuffing and garlic mashed potatoes. What a great recipe!

My family never liked the traditional green bean casserole. They have "texture" issues and the traditional recipe was too mushy for them. This casserole has LOTS of flavor with the bacon and the water chestnuts (I used sliced and mixed them in)added the texture that made this a hit with them!
