Definitely not your mama's Green bean casserole! I don't like the cream of mushroom can so this was my first time making it from scratch. I pretty much followed to the tee except I added a little cheddar cheese to mine, I could have eaten this without anything else to go with it. My husband enjoyed it!!

Thanks Alton,

I like this recipe and that it is flavorful and tastes good. It does taste a bit different than the original canned soup, but in a good way. The homemade version doesn't have the icky MSG and chemicals in it. I have even used the soup recipe part in other dishes, such as tuna noodle casseroled. It taste 5 star yummy in the tuna noodle casserole dish. I definitely like this over the can.

I got a lot of compliments on this recipe. I made one adult version with sliced mushrooms, and a kid version with finely chopped mushrooms. Both were delicious. When I cooked the chopped mushrooms, I did need more butter though. My onions also burned. It wasn't worth the extra work for me to have them burn, so I will likely use the French's onions next time I make this. Very flavorful and creamy, yum!

I burned my onions, too, and I would not recommend this recipe. It's completely pedestrian with nothing interesting, unusual or especially flavorful about it.

A very average flavor profile, and a bit too much nutmeg for my taste. It was definitely better than a cream of mush soup/french's onion recipe but it could have been better. It needs more richness...perhaps a teaspoon of worcester sauce or Maggie's would spruce it up a bit. Many people burned the onions but I avoided this by cutting them thicker (1/4''+ and starting them off at 400F, and then up to 450F after 10 minutes. I made sure to turn them every 10 minutes (with a huge spatula as per the recipe and they turned out great.

This is a great alternative to the classic green bean casserole. The onions are worth doing but do burn easily. I tweaked the recipe by dipping my onions in an egg wash and tossing them with italian bread crumbs...the taste it great and the onions don't burn. I also added a little beau monde to the sauce.

As usual, this Alton recipe rocks! I will never buy cream of mushroom soup or those French's onions again. Just keep an eye on your onions--mine were done in half the time. I also cooked my green beans about 10 minutes instead of 5.

Excellent. Except the onion rings burn every time, no matter what I do. So French's it will be for Christmas, and will hopefully be just as good.
