I read the reviews before I started cooking and made some adjustments based on them. I added salt to the beans while they were cooking but several people commented it needed more salt. I will add salt to the creamy mushroom mixture next time. I tripled the amount of dried onion and thought it could have used a little more. This recipe was more work than the traditional green bean casserole I've always made, but I liked this one better and besides the salt comments, it got good reviews by my family and in-laws this Thanksgiving.

What is with people who have not tried the recipe, but gve only one star saying, "We don't do sour cream. We don't like the taste or the fat and calories." You are supposed to rate the recipe after you've made it, NOT the ingredients! duh!

Very bland version of the traditional green bean casserole. It definitely lack salt and pepper. I cooked my beans in a salted water bath as I normally do and it helped, but the cream base needs help too. I also quadrupled the amount of dried onion and I think it could even use a bit more. Probably not going to work this recipe again. However, the swiss cheese was a nice touch.

I have made this recipe many times. It is now a staple at our Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. My mom prefers the fresh taste to the heavy taste of green bean casserole made with the canned soup.

I substituted frozen, thawed green beans but was unimpressed overall with the texture of beans and lack of flavor as well.

I might rate it higher if I could find a substitute for the sour cream. We don't do sc. We don't like the taste or the fat and calories!

Let me start off by saying that I have always hated green beans! However, the picture of these holiday green beans really made me want to give them a try. To my surprise, I LOVED them! This is the first time I haven't wanted to gag eating a green bean! I even ate the leftovers! This recipe is now a family favorite. Thank you Laura for getting me to eat a veggie that I've despised since childhood. :)

My family found this dish to lack flavor. We all felt that it was missing something to give it more taste.
