GREEN BEANS WITH CHEESE AND BACON
I found this among some recipes my husband's aunt sent me. I tried it once, and it became a family favorite immediately. I save it and use it in the summer when beans are freshest. Then we always have something to look forward to each summer. I often double this recipe just to have enough for my children to have leftovers! You can prepare this ahead of time, but make sure that the casserole is at room temperature before baking. I often use a mixture of both green beans and wax beans in the casserole.

Tips:
- Utilize fresh green beans: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh green beans that are crisp and bright green in color. Avoid limp or discolored beans.
- Trim the green beans properly: Trim the ends of the green beans, removing any tough or fibrous ends. This will ensure that the beans cook evenly.
- Blanch the green beans: Blanching the green beans in boiling water for a few minutes helps to preserve their color and crunch. It also removes any unwanted bitterness.
- Use high-quality sour cream: Choose a full-fat sour cream for the best flavor and texture. Avoid low-fat or non-fat sour cream, as these can be watery and lack flavor.
- Season the sour cream: Add some seasonings to the sour cream, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, or onion powder, to enhance the flavor.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish the green beans with fresh herbs such as parsley, chives, or dill for an extra pop of flavor and color.
