DELICIOUS CREAMY CHEESY GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE



Delicious Creamy Cheesy Green Bean Casserole image

Another veggie family favorite. This can be prepared ahead of time, refrigerated and baked when ready. This is really good with ham. Although I have only made this recipe using frozen beans, I imagine that you could make this using about 3 cans of French-style beans, just omit cooking the beans. Also the 2 cups half and half can be replaced with whole milk, just watch carefully not to scald the milk while cooking.
