SWISS GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE
This is a nice change from the traditional green bean casserole. I like it much better. This is my sister-in-law's recipe. She knows she has to bring it to all family functions and that the leftovers (if there are any) are all mine! Prep time includes the time it takes to cook the frozen green beans before assembling the casserole.

SWISS CHEESE GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE
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).

GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE W/SWISS CHEESE
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!

- This casserole can be easily customized to your liking. For example, you can add cooked bacon, chopped ham, or shredded chicken. You can also use different types of cheese, such as cheddar, Gruyère, or Parmesan.
- If you don't have a mushroom soup, you can make your own by blending cooked mushrooms with some milk and cream.
