When I make this special-occasion veggie dish, I am ALWAYS asked for the recipe. Fresh steamed green beans provide a contrast to decadent melted Swiss cheese and crunchy topping. A family holiday favorite throughout my extended family. You can prepare ahead of time, leaving 4 to 5 minutes to steam the green beans and add other ingredients. Put into oven right before serving dinner (we usually put it in while carving the turkey).

This is my friend Joe Comb's recipe -- he was a great friend and a great cook! He moved away from the Atlanta area several years ago, and I no longer know how to contact him. Wherever Joe is, I hope he is aware of Recipe Zaar -- The original recipe called for french cut green beans, but I prefer whole beans that I can actually chew! 2 1/2 - 2 3/4 pounds blanched fresh beans can be substituted!

Tips:

  • For a crispier topping, use panko breadcrumbs instead of crushed crackers.
  • If you don't have cream of mushroom soup, you can use cream of celery or cream of chicken soup instead.
  • To make the casserole ahead of time, assemble it and bake it for 30 minutes. Then, cover it and refrigerate it for up to 2 days. When ready to serve, bake it for an additional 30 minutes, or until it is heated through.
  • For a vegetarian version of the casserole, omit the bacon and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • To add a pop of flavor, stir in a handful of chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, thyme, or rosemary, before baking.
