About
We've all had green bean casserole and we've all loved green bean casserole. But of course, as with any dish, we had to ask, "can this be made better with cheese?" The answer, perhaps unsurprisingly, is yes! Cheesy Bean Casserole takes the crisp yet tender green beans and places them in a creamy cheddar soup sauce before piling it up with melty, sharp, satisfying cheese! Of course, it wouldn't do any good to neglect a crunchy, buttery, cracker crumb crust with plenty of fried onions on top, which will make your taste buds sing! Plus, the topping also includes more cheese! Cheesy Bean Casserole will make you smile, just like you do when you say "cheese!"
