Wonderfully delicious! Just a kicked up version of the traditional green bean casserole... I do not eat mushrooms and my husband turned his nose up when he realized I was putting them in the casserole... but he still ate it(and thought it was wonderful)!! I just chopped the mushrooms up pretty good before adding them so that nobody would "freak out" over a large chunk of mushroom! Like I said... I do not normally eat them but they added such good flavor along with the addition of Velveeta and bacon! YUM!! Definitely a new Thanksgiving staple!

I didn't have an oven, so I made this recipe on the stove-top, letting it heat & thicken for about 30 minutes. It turned out great. I added the fried onions just before serving. A few modifications: I left out the bacon bits but added half an onion and fresh mushrooms. I also used fresh green beans, and the fresh taste was delicious.

I made both the traditional and this recipe side by side and today (day after) there's mostly the traditional one left over... so with that being said, I gave it 4 stars. The cheese was different, but the bacon made it a winner!! Update: Made it again this year and it was/is oh- so-yummy! I use real bacon and less processed cheese than called for (I doubled the recipe and used 4 oz). Everyone loved it!

Made this for my first thanksgiving dinner. It was a hit. The only problem I had was that I had no clue how to measure out the velvetta. I just guessed and it came out delicious, and I've never even liked Green Bean casserole. Didnt add bacon because I didnt have any, but I would make it exactly the same. This is my go to casserole recipe now!

This was a hit! I doubled the recipe since we were having about 20 people for dinner. It was gone very quickly! My kids raved and raved about it and have requested that I now cook this more often than just Thanksgiving and Christmas! The only thing I did differently was to leave out the extra mushrooms and I used Real Bacon I had fried up and crumbled. :)

I made a huge batch of this for a family get together and realized that I hadn't bought enough Cream of Mushroom but I happened to have one can of Cream of Chicken so I used it. Everyone absolutely raved about how delicious and creamy it was. I'm not sure if the Cream of Chicken added to it or not but everyone really really loved it!
