So I have been making this for awhile now and after this thanksgiving had to give it a review. I was trying to use fresh green beans, and although the cream of mushroom came out fabulously well, the green beans never cooked all the way and it was watery. So this time I sweated some onions and garlic in a good amount of butter, then I added the green beans and sauteed until good and done. Think canned french cut as an example. This removed a lot of the liquid. I used tongs to move the green beans from my pan to the casserole dish so that there was no excess liquid. But don't throw it away! I used it in the cream of mushroom which I made with heavy cream instead, and used a corn starch/water mixture to thicken. It came out PERFECT! And was sooo good and got plenty of compliments. :)

Two of my three sisters hate the regular green bean casserole so I decided to try this for Thanksgiving. I added 1/4 cup of white wine to the sauce and a bit of cornstarch to thicken it up. Was delicious and everyone enjoyed it.

Recently made this for a luncheon at work for 46 people...WOW! It was the first thing gone....I personally have not been a fan of green bean casseroles but this remix is the best. Will be on my holiday table every year from now on! PS: followed recipe exactly

This was gone in no time this evening. Everyone (adults, teens and kids) loved it and asked that we have it again for Thanksgiving in place of the traditional this year. I was sure I had half and half cream but when I reached in the fridge, all I could find was heavy cream so used that. I also used a very tiny amount of a cornstarch slurry to thicken a little more. Also, couldn't resist adding Durkee Onions on top. Delicious. Thanks for sharing!

This was a nice change from the regular green bean casserole and we all loved it. Like another reviewer mentioned, it did seem on the thin side, so I added a can of cream of mushroom soup, used fat free half and half and some black pepper. I'll admit, I just couldn't tear myself away from the fried onions, so I did end up adding them to the mix. Excellent recipe chocoholic and thank you!!

Anyone who says this isn't am amazing recipe is NUTS! Even my green-bean-casserole-hater-family-members LOVED this. My 11yr old and I tried the sauce mixture alone and we almost cried it was so good. I had GBCasserole duty to 2 thxgivings this and this is my BEST dish yet. CHANGES: chopped onions instead of mushrooms, added a can of cream of mushroom to it, sauce seemed thin, added french fried onions on top. FAB! Muchas Gracias chocoholic1!

For flavor I would give this five stars, however the casserole was very runny so I dropped it down to four stars. Maybe adding less half-and-half would help, or adding cornstarch to thicken it up. I will make it again but will need to play around with it so that it's not so runny next time. Flavor was great though!
