Tips:

For a creamy casserole, use a combination of canned and dried beans. Canned beans will provide a smooth texture, while dried beans will add a more hearty bite.
To save time, use pre-cooked bacon or sausage. You can also use ground beef or turkey, if desired.
Add your favorite vegetables to the casserole. Chopped bell peppers, onions, or corn are all great additions.
Season the casserole to taste. A simple combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder is a good starting point.
Top the casserole with shredded cheese before baking. This will give it a golden brown crust.
Serve the casserole with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or salad.

Five-bean casserole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's easy to make, and it can be tailored to your own preferences. Whether you like it creamy or hearty, with vegetables or without, five-bean casserole is sure to become a family favorite.
