I don't like regular green beans. Does this work just as well with "French Style" green beans?

Instead of using Whole Milk can I substitute it with Soy milk?

In addition to all the variations listed here for making green been casserole, i have substituted cream of chicken soup for the cream of mushroom. I like the flavour as much or better than the original method! And it works great for those who do not like mushrooms!

Did anyone try these in a crockpot yet? I'll be staying at my Mother-in-law's house for three days before Thanksgiving, and she's cooking the turkey in her oven. Just wondering if I might be able to use the crock pot. If nobody else has tried it - I'll try it out sometime this month before Thanksgiving. But, I don't want to waste it if someone has tried it and it was awful!

Thanks!

There's a crockpot cookbook with a similar recipe. Frozen green beans, cream of mushroom soup. Rather than milk, 1/4 cup of white wine. Also uses fresh mushrooms. Cook on low for 5 hours.

Use the Cream of Cheddar Cheese Soup instead of the Cream of Mushroom it will rock your socks off

The origanal recipe also had soy sauce in it. It makes a big difference. It is a teaspoon of soy sauce and a dash of pepper for a single recipe.

I disagree with the comments that fresh or frozen green beans are better than canned in this recipe. I tried it once for a family party of about 40 people - and after dinner about 40 people decided that it should never be made with anything but canned green beans!

I add in a packet of Lipton's Onion Soup Mix for extra flavor.

I grew up on this casserole, but we had it only during the holidays. All us kids hated veggies, but we all loved g.b. casserole. One thing my mom did was to always use frozen french cut g.b.'s. Now i make it for the holidays and everyone raves about it.

Can this casserole be frozen and then cooked?

Can someone answer this question, can this casserole be made up ahead, then frozen, and then baked? If so, do you thaw first or bake it frozen? What are the baking instructions? Let me know asap, thank you. [/b]

[Dilbert]

yes.

bake to completion, let cool, freeze.
thaw, reheat at 250'F - 45-60 minutes
