I made this for Thanksgiving and it was a big hit. My boyfriend who is not a big veggie person, love it! Like others I added more mushroom, I also added some minced galric to give it a little extra flavor. The "original" green bean casserole makes me cringe because I think it masks the true flavor of the beans, this helped the bean shine. This is a keeper of a recipe and will be worked into everyday living! Happy eats!

My friend brought this dish to our christmas party. Wow....it was half way gone in less than 20 minutes. And mind you we had a lot of meat lovers at the party. But these veggies found the way to their hearts! Love it!

Everyone enjoyed this casserole, but I would recommend the following tweaks: (1 just scratch through the "about 2 tablespoons" regarding the mushrooms, an obvious misprint; (2 reduce flour to 1T; (3 add 1/4 cup of milk to the mushrooms after cooking out the flour; (4 increase the sour cream to 12 ounces; and (5 cut the green beans a little shorter than 2 inches to help keep portions intact when serving. I'm not a fan of the traditional holiday green bean casserole, with the soup and canned onion stuff, so I was excited to see Claire's presentation, but the measurements seemed off after simply reading the recipe. I proceeded knowing I'd make the changes mentioned, and the result was great.

Finally there is a green bean casserole recipe that the entire family loves. It was very easy to make and none of the ingredients were hard to find.

I did a test run following the recipe exactly and it was very good. However I thought the beans minus the toppings were a little bland. On the second batch I seasoned the beans very liberally with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper before applying the toppings. After I added the sour cream and mushroom mixture I used a silicone spoon to smooth it into the beans. This made for a more consistent casserole that was easier to serve. The extra salt and pepper really helped the beans on their own too.

I made this with pork for a weeknight dinner and it was really really yummy! I used a shallot instead of the onion and I added a bit more mushroom and sour cream because it didn't seem saucy enough. It turned out really good and my husband loved it. He is already asking me when I am going to make it again.

The measurements in this recipe were totally off! I doubled and tripled the mushrooms,corn flakes and just about everything else and it was still dry. It looked so good on tv. I was very disappointed!

I decided to try this for Thanksgiving. I used a bit more mushroom.....and maybe a bit more onion......gave a rough chop to the mushroom so you could see and know what it was if you cared to. The onion I chopped finer. The thing that is bewildering to me --- b4 I made it --- and after I made it --- is why do you need to add flour and do a bit of a roux? Sour cream is plenty thick enough --- truly it is thick enough without it. So for those inquiring about the lack of sauce and a stodgy dish -- YES..... I agree -- but it's an easy fix -- use your good old culinary sense and don't add flour to thicken anything. Add your sour cream and thin a bit with milk or cream to desired sauce consistency and season as you like -- add the cheese and crumbly topping of choice -- wha-la -- it will be absolutely delicious. I had rice chex on hand -- crushed and added parmesan and some bobby flay's mesa curry powder mix -- for extra kick -- the results were awesome. I think what's so yummy is the freshness of the beans....the real mushrooms... and you can't go wrong with sour cream ever....updated easy green bean casserole for sure ;-

It was very good. However, the cheese was not gooey and melty.
