This recipe may be a little more labor intensive to make than the usual green bean casserole but it's so worth it. I love the fresh green beans and the cheese! I always use more mushrooms than called for just because I love them!

GREEN BEAN-MUSHROOM CASSEROLE (BY PAULA DEEN)
This is a highly rated recipe from Paula Deen of the Food Channel and worth making! I have tweaked it slightly and doubled the complete amounts to suit our tastes --- Paula has a house seasoning blend mix which is 1/2 cup salt mixed with 2 tablespoons black pepper and 2 tablespoons garlic powder, she uses a small amount in this casserole, you have the option of omitting the fresh garlic and adding it in, store the remaining mix in an air tight container for up to 6 months, I strongly recommend using low-sodium cream of mushroom soup

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add in mushrooms and garlic; cook stirring until mushrooms loose their moisture then set aside.

- Transfer to the prepared casserole dish.
- Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 20 minutes.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese on top; return to oven for about 5-7 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh green beans. If using frozen green beans, thaw them before cooking.
- To make the casserole ahead of time, assemble it and bake it for 30 minutes. Then, let it cool completely and refrigerate it. When ready to serve, reheat it in a 350°F oven for 30-35 minutes.
- If you don't have cream of mushroom soup, you can use cream of celery soup or cream of chicken soup instead.
- To make the casserole more vegetarian-friendly, omit the bacon and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
- For a crispy topping, sprinkle the casserole with crushed potato chips or cornflakes before baking.
