This is obvisously a VERY heavy recipe. Don't make it if you are looking for something light. I made a few changes and I thought it was really good! I used 1lb fresh green beans, added some garlic, used 7oz of Brie and instead of corn flakes I used a box of Blue Diamond Almond Nut Thin crackers. The almond flour crackers were a really nice mix w/the casserole. I'll be making it again for sure.

This has been our family favorite for over 30 years. Melt the butter in a saucepan and add in flour, 2 tsp.salt, 1 tsp. pepper, 1 tsp. instant minced onion and 2 tsp. sugar. I use cut green beans, not the stringy french. I don't melt the Swiss cheese into the green bean mixture but layer it on top. Spread this in a 9x13 pan. For the topping I only use 1 cup of cornflake crumbs with 1/2 cup butter. Just sprinkle over the top for a light coating.

I made this for Christmas, and my only complaint is that I used fresh rather than canned greenbeans, and the sweetness didn't blend well with the rest of the ingredients. Will definitely make again....

I had higher hopes for this than it delivered. I should have known it might be on the bland side without any spice. The sour cream/cheese mixture came out almost rubbery. I may try the recipe again, but with some modifications.

Made this for dinner and got rave reviews! Even people who claim they don't like sour cream in anything loved it! I'll be making it this way again!

I was tasked with the green bean casserole for the Christmas dinner but knew we had guests who hated mushrooms etc. so I decided on this. After reading other reviews I decided on changing it a bit. I wanted to fill my 2 1/2 quart pan so I did the following: I used 3 14 oz packages of frozen beans, barely cooked (french cut next time?). I added 1/2 lb of crumbled bacon. Half a can of french fried onions. A little more cheese and sour cream. Sweated half an onion in the butter (a little more butter too). It filled the pan perfectly. The flavor was very good and the texture was perfect!

A very nice change from the traditional green bean casserole. I made this for a pre-Christmas dinner and everyone loved it. I added some bacon and used the french-fried onion rings. I also cut back on the sour cream. This recipe is definitely a keeper.

This really is different in a good way. I serve this on special occasions. Be sure not to over brown the butter or it will burn and ruin the whole thing. Serve piping hot, if it gets to cool the swiss will have the yuck factor...like when chicken cordon bleu gets cold.

I agree that it's a little bland, as is. I add a package of onion soup mix to my sour cream. I cut the sour cream a little and increased the swiss cheese. I also use french onions instead of the cornflakes.

Very good, rich and cheesy. This is easy to do as well. I substituted French Onions for the cornflakes and my husband loved it.

Remarkably unremarkable. Flavorless. I think that the ingredients are a good start but this recipe is not finished. When making the sour-cream/butter/flour/cheese paste, taste it because THAT will be the over-all flavor of the dish and then build on it from there.

For green bean casserole,which usually is not very popular because of it's consistency, this recipe was actually quite surprising and appatizing!I made it for Thanksgiving dinner and my family members who had never liked green bean casserole had seconds and thirds.Can't wait to make more!

After reading the other reviews, I automatically cut the s. cream by half (using only 1 c.). I also added chopped bacon and onion powder for a little more flavor. An additional can of green beans to make it go a little farther. Thinned the sauce slightly w/ a little milk and then added the cheese. It was very good and such a nice change from the "usual" green bean dish. Topped it off w/ the french fried onions instead of the topping as in the recipe.

This recipe is a fantastic idea and a welcome change from traditional green bean casserole. I would give it five stars, but as the recipe was, it was a little flavorless for me, so like a lot of reviewers, I added bacon and also added a little (about 2 tbsp.) feta cheese. That seemed to take care of the blandness. I also used twice the amount of butter that was called for in order to completely moisten the corn flake crumbs. I'll be making this again and often. Thanks for the recipe!

Wonderful. I used fresh green beans. Blanched them in boiling water for 5 min. This was so good, I will definitely be making this one again.
