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.
