Jennifer's Notes:

Holidays just aren't the same without green bean casserole. My family loves the extra 'umph' the added mushrooms and cheese provide!

Comments from the Test Kitchen:

When I saw that Jennifer had added cheese to this traditional green bean casserole recipe I knew I had to try it! And much to my delight the cheese took it up several notches. In fact, my husband commented that it was the best green bean casserole he had ever eaten. Nice!

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl add green beans, fresh mushrooms, both cans of soup and milk. Mix together well.

Fold in 2 cups of the cheese and 1 can of fried onions.

Pour into a 13x9 glass casserole dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and cover top with remaining cheese and 2nd can of fried onions. Bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.

Love green bean casserole, but never tried it with cheese before. Guess it can't hurt! ;) Will have to give it a try.

Gave it a try and sorry to say I will not be making it again. The cheese takes away from the flavor of the onions . It just did not seem to blend well with other foods as well as I thought it was. There were a couple who enjoyed it but the majority of my family said "stick with the other recipe."
If your a cheeseaholic you'll probably like it.

I'll be trying this - my family loves cheese, but what Italian family doesn't - as far as it being too cheesey, try cutting back on the amount of cheese.

This sounds really good, but if I make it I will saute the mushrooms in butter until golden. Use frozen green beans, blanch them and lightly saute in the mushroom pan. Remove vegetables to casserole dish, add flour to butter in pan to make a roux, and add milk to make "cream of" instead of canned soup. It does sounds very tempting.

I will definitely try this...I have another green bean casserole that uses sour cream and swiss cheese. My kids love it and are always asking for it. I know they will do the same with this one.

I make this one too only I use all fresh ingredients. I blanche the green beans in salted boiling water for 1 minute then they go immediatley into an ice bath to stop the cooking. I slice 2 large Vidalia onions into rings then carmelize them in some garlic infused butter, then I'll toss in 8 ounces of sliced button mushrooms and saute them briefly, then it's everybody into the pool and instead of the soup I'll make a bechemel then after I've stirred the ingredients to combine. I top with Panko that I've tossed with a little melted butter! And into the oven, uncovered.

We love green bean casserol at our house and I have also been adding cheese to it for a long time, but I use cheddar cheese and it really livens up the flavor a lot.
