This was okay. Only 1 of my 4 kids would eat it, and I didn't care for it either. I like the popular version with French's onions.

I've made this recipe again and again without any alterations. I tend to change up recipes constantly, but as far as I'm concerned, this one is perfect. The onions have always turned out soft (and I'm extremely sensitive to onions. I'd just as soon leave them out!), the sour cream amount is perfect, and the flavors blended together create a unique, almost tangy green bean casserole. I feel this definitely doesn't need the French onions that some people suggested and the cheese really adds something. I constantly crave this dish. Honestly, if you're going to make this dish, try it first without the alterations. You might be surprised at how incredible it is.

I've made this recipe twice and both times it was excellent. The two times that I've made it, I left out the flour, used less salt, added pepper and the first time I used garlic, like some other's have suggested. The first time I thought I had done something wrong because the sour cream seemed to curdle, but I realized the second time around, that I think the flour serves a purpose: to prevent the curdle effect and to hold the ingredients together. I used Jack cheese and topped with the crunchy French's onions like others have suggested, I think really no matter how you make it or what you add or change, it's still basically green beans and sourcream and it's so so good! Thank you to Amy Barry for the great recipe.

I NEVER give 5 stars but with my modifications this is unbelievable. So much better than the old Cream of Mushroom Soup Recipe. 3 Tbl. Olive Oil instead of the butter no salt no sugar Sauteed the onions Used Fat Free Sour Cream Only (2) cans of green beans 1 cup of shredded Cheddar 1 cup of sliced Mozzarella 1 cup of Fried onions instead of crackers Mix everything together except the cheeses. Add the sliced mozarella Add the Cheddar Add the Fried Onions FABULOUS!

This was absolutely delicous!!!! I was SO tired of the "green bean casserole" and tried this for Easter. It won everybody over. Thank you, I will fix it many, many times until someone gets tired of it (never?) Thanks again

This was an okay recipe. It was a nice change from the normal mushroom soup recipe, but I thought that the sour cream was a little over powering. Everyone at my easter party ate it, and everyone said it was good, but just different, or not what they expected. It wasn't horrible, but I don't think I would make this again.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong. I scaled it back to 4 servings but found it very bland. I used frozen green beans and wondered if this had anything to do with it. Even though I like the traditional GBC I don't like using artificial ingredients.

I made this for a Christmas dinner test-run. Everyone loved it. Like other reviewers, I added black pepper and garlic powder, reduced the sour cream to ¾ c., reduced the flour to 1 T., and reduced the salt to ½ t. I also sautéed the onion until translucent before adding it to the flour. I used French fried onions rather than crackers alone and mixed approximately ½ of the can of onions with the green bean mixture and crumbled the remaining ½ can and the crackers on top of the casserole. I’ve never made green bean casserole before, so I was very pleased when this came out a success!

The casserole was fantastic except the buttery round crackers. I made it again and substituted french fried onions and loved it.

I don't know what went wrong but the sour cream curdled in the oven. I had to redo the casserole with the classic recipe and make it with the cream of soup and french fried onions.

I'll admit I was skeptical. I was looking for a green bean casserole for Easter that would "kick things up a notch". This one sounded good, but once I got into it, I got scared of the cheese. I used 3 pounds of fresh green beans, a whole medium onion, and the whole cup of sour cream. I also added some fresh garlic that I chopped finely and sauted with the onions. Instead of the cheese, I used the cheddar cheese flavored French's Onions, mixing half of the container with the green bean mixture prior to baking, and pouring the rest on top to bake. It was good, but nothing impressive. Then at dinner, I placed the shredded cheddar cheese next to it. People melted the cheese over the casserole themselves, and it was amazing! That being said, don't doubt the recipe! Add the cheese! The only good thing about leaving the cheese on the side was that people were able to add it to their own taste level. I'll definetely make this again!

I was searching for a recipe that did not contain canned mushroom soup when I stumbled upon this one and I am SO glad that I did! This is a fantastic dish and is now the only green bean casserole dish I will make! The only modification I make is to reduce salt to 1/2 tsp. Thanks so much!

I just made this for our Easter dinner. I made several changes based on other reviewers comments. Sauteed the finely chopped onions in a tblsp of butter slowly until they were starting to brown nicely--about 10 min. Then added a couple of cloves of finely minced garlic simmered for about 5 minutes. Added in sour cream, sugar 1/2 tsp salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste. Stirred in fresh steamed green beans, all the cheese and some french fried onions. Stuffed this into my round casserole dish and topped with more onions. From the quick taste test I did on the sauce this should be spectacular! Also making scalloped potatoes and Alton Brown's Ham with bourbon, gingersnap, mustard and brown sugar crust. Can't wait! Pecan Pie V from Allrecipes for dessert. Mine and hubby's mouth already watering.

I made this for Thanksgiving...tried a different recipe for Christmas and my family begged me to make this one again for Easter. It really is soooooooooooooo good!! I also cook the onions in the butter until they are a little softer, halved the salt and flour and mixed half the cheese in the casserold, per other reviews. Delicious!

Don't expect the traditional casserole here. It's got tang! Every holiday I'm asked to make this and it all goes. No more cream of mushroom casserole for us. This is it.

I have a green bean casserole recipe that I love, but I wanted something easier for today. The only thing I changed was to saute the onions in the butter until tender before I added the flour and other ingredients. I liked the flavors, but the crackers weren't as good as the traditional fried onions.

There were no leftovers! My family can be extremely picky when it comes to some foods, especially greenbeans. This however; I cooked for Thanksgiving and just slid it between a few other food items and then passed it around. It cooked up nicely, didn't interfer with everything else because I didn't feel like I had to stand over it the whole time and was a big hit with everyone.
