Thanksgiving planning would not be complete without a green bean casserole. This Cheesy Green Bean Casserole is a must-have in our house! No condensed cream of soup and full of cheesy and creamy flavor!
Aside from being deliciously and made from scratch. I love this Cheesy Green Bean Casserole because it has no mushrooms. I am not a fan of mushrooms from their texture to the taste. This recipe will please both the mushroom hater to the mushroom lovers, for this green bean casserole is perfectly delicious in its own right!
I personally like using canned green beans, but you certainly use fresh green beans.
