Awesome Idea for Greenbean Casserole Alternative

You know one of my favorite thanksgiving day dishes is the green bean casserole. The only problem is that I am the only one in my family that happens to like it. So last year I decided that I had to find a green bean casserole alternative. I wanted something that remained true to the original recipe but was enough variation that it tasted totally different and would invite others to enjoy a dish that I feel is an old standby for any holiday dinner.

So I was able to locate an new variation without to much trouble and it met the requirements that I was looking for.

1. It still uses green beans. Personally I like the French cut type in the can. If you use the frozen ones they tend to remain to crunchy and it doesn't taste right regardless of what type of green bean model you choose.

2. Instead of using mushroom soup, you use cheddar cheese soup.
3. Bring on the bacon bits.
4. Don't forget the Durke onions.

After bring these ingredients together and cooking it up in a new casserole it tasted amazing an literally was demolished by everyone. Almost makes me wish I hadn't brought out the new and improved GBC.

Either way I like it better and will be making it again in a few days.
