With a few modifications this recipe is great for a homemade green bean casserole. When I have the time and all the ingredients, I will definitely make this over the canned soup version. I used dried minced onion instead of the regular onion, picky eaters in the family. As other reviewers suggested, I decreased the sour cream to 3/4 cup, I also added some garlic powder and garlic salt instead of the regular salt. A key change, use the fried onions...I mix one can in with the casserole and cover the top with more! Great crunch!! Such an authentic flavor...Thanksgiving favorite!

Lovely recipe. This is also good with brussel sprouts, or broccoli crowns. If using brussel sprouts, first trim and then halve, and replace half the quantity of onion with shallots first sauted in a pot deglazed with madeira.

Made as directed. My husband liked it a little. I couldn't stand it- it was to bland and thick tasting.

Loved it!! So did my boyfriend, and he usually doesn't like anything that wasn't made by his mom. The only thing i did differently was mix the cheese in with the green beans, and cut the sugar and salt by half.

i eliminated the sugar like others said, maybe that was a bad idea b/c it was nearly inedible

This is the best Green Bean Casserole I have ever tasted. It always goes fast and it's very easy to make.

I love this recipe. I made it over the holidays, and my family came back for thirds. It was my first time making a holiday meal, and it was a total hit. I made it exactly the way it is written. Now that I'm confident in the recipe I now make it with the following changes: I used low fat sour cream, reduced fat cheddar cheese, and the low sodium/red fat ritz crackers.

This was good. I stirred in some french fried onions before baking and then added some on top in the last 10 minutes instead of the crackers. Delicious!

DELICIOUS! I had this for Easter with my inlaws, and they enjoyed it as well. I LOVE the flavor the sour cream adds to this recipe!

I really didn't care for this. I think the sugar was why I didn't really like it too much. I was looking for a more salty dish and it was just too sweet for me. My fiance thought it was good so I might make it again without the sugar.

This is my second time making this. If you cut the sour cream back some, this recipe is great. My step-dad almost ate the ENTIRE casserole dish! Since I was short on time, I didn't use onions, but instead mixed in the fried onions into the green beans mixture. LOVED IT!

I am asked to bring this every thanksgiving.

Excellent. Took this to a dinner at the in-laws and everyone loved it.

To die for! I put on some french fried onions for the last five minutes. I'm expected to make this for any and all holiday meals, and I'm always asked for the recipe!

I've made this on a few occasions and always receive nice compliments. I've made it with either the crackers, or french fried onions, and either way is always a big hit!

LOVED THIS! I used the french fried onions instead of the crackers.

This was a nice change from the normal mushroom soup kind. I did change it up a little. I thought it needed some more flavor so I added some garlic. Instead of crackers over the top, I put cheese french fried onions. Green bean casserole is just not complete without the french fried onions! Overall it was a nice change and something I would make again.
