Just had them for Thanksgiving dinner. Ok but very bland....needs a little spicing up. Will make again....but add some more flavor. The crunch of the water chestnuts was great.

Very similar to the classic green bean casserole. I just love the addition of bacon for a little extra flavor.

This was just ok for us compared with the other stuff we prepared on Thanksgiving. It actually tasted better to me 2 days later.

Wow...I'm so happy this recipe is still on here! I first ran across this recipe a few years ago, and I can not believe it doesn't have more reviews!!!! I made it for Thanksgiving for all of my family, and it was the Biggest hit! Everyone always request that I make it now. It's my favourite green bean casserole, hands down. The bacon and waterchesnuts blend together very well, to make a very unique and tasty casserole.. the only thing I do is add in a white chopped onion, and make sure all the bacon grease is drained, otherwise it tends to be a bit watery. Thank you for one of my most fav recipes that everyone wants a copy of!!!

I rated this a 4. It was good but I didn't think it was any better than the traditional green been casserole, but it was a nice change. I fried my bacon until it was nice and crip and drained it well and didn't find that it was greasy at all.

The water chestnuts in this recipe are a GREAT addition. Everyone loves this dish. I'm always assigned to bring it for potlucks and special occasions. It's always a hit!

I left out the water chestnuts, and instead of the onions ontop, I subbed cheddar cheese!! Also, I did not let the bacon grease go to waste. I mixed a small spoonful in with the green beans. Wow! this came out unbelievable. Will definitely be making over and over.

I liked this recipe, I tripled it and brought it for Thanksgiving. I thought it a little bland and needed salt. It tasted even better the next day.

I sub. cream of celery for cream of mushroom. I'm sure with the mushroom it would have been better.

This is the best green bean casserole. I got lots of compliments at Thanksgiving yesterday. Everyone loved the water chestnuts. I made a few tiny changes. I mixed about half the onions into the casserole, added a little more bacon and also crumbled some bacon on the top. Yummy!

I really like the water chestnuts and bacon in this, but I'm just not a fan of the traditional cream of mushroom soup with the green beans. I would like to try the rest of the ingredients with some other substitution for the sauce. But thanks a lot for the recipe idea.

great recipe! my boyfriend and i ate it up in one night. i used my grandaddy's canned green beans (pretty much the best green beans in the world), instead of regular canned...it was amazing. the bacon and french fried onions work really well too.

Great with the bacon and water chesnuts. However, it definitely needed some more spices (salt and a little seasoning). I would also recommend putting a little less milk in the recipe as the suggested amount made my green beans a little soupy. Great taste, though!
