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).

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.

Tips:
- Prep your beans: Trim the ends of the green beans and remove any strings. This will help them cook evenly and make them more tender.
- Use fresh beans: Fresh green beans are more flavorful and have a better texture than frozen or canned beans. If you can't find fresh beans, frozen beans are a good option.
- Cook them quickly: Green beans are best when they are cooked quickly over high heat. This will help them retain their color and nutrients.
- Don't overcook them: Overcooked green beans are limp and mushy. Cook them just until they are tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
- Season them well: Green beans are a blank canvas for flavor. Season them with salt, pepper, garlic, onion, or any other herbs and spices you like.
- Add them to other dishes: Green beans are a great addition to salads, soups, stews, and casseroles. They can also be roasted or grilled.
