    I made this for Thanksgiving and it was such a big hit. I especially loved the freshness of the fried onions and shallots. That wowed everyone. This is a keeper. Well worth it

    This recipe is totally worth the time it takes, especially if making for a special occasion. Many steps can be completed ahead of time. Also, using canned french fried onions saves you from having to fry your own, although they are truly delicious. I will never make green bean casserole from a soup can again. However, my brother who LOVES green bean casserole from the can was not a fan of this. He is a "picky" eater. Other people also told me it contained too much pepper, although I did not think so.

    Guy you are an AWESOME Chef! I made this for my family this year, and even my two year old ate it! It was DeeeLISH! This is a MUST try recipe for anyone who hasn't tried it yet and wants something different than the traditional green bean cassarole. This will now be our traditional cassarole! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!

    This was an awesome dish. I decided to try it out before Thanksgiving and have now decided to make this a part of our Thanksgiving menu.

    This recipe is a MUST. I made this for Thanksgiving and it was demanded that I make it again for Christmas dinner. It was time consuming, but absolutely worth it.

    This recipe was a hit! I'll be making The Mean Green from now on instead of additive filled "green bean casserole". More work but sooo worth it.

    Thanks Guy!!!! I spent 4 days making Thanksgiving for almost 20 people. No way was I going to serve that mushy soup, canned bean mush. Well worth the extra effort. Had my sister fry up the onion rings while I got the birds out to rest. I will make this every year now! Mmmmmmm

    I made it for Thanksgiving and everyone loved it... I thought it was a little spicy but when I got used to the after kick I loved it too. I loved the onion ring...they where excellent.

    I made the recipe exactly as stated and I was a little underwhelmed. I wanted to love this and reading the recipe I completely thought I would but.... it was kind of bland all things considered. Maybe the roux blanded (yes I know that is not a word it up for me, I dunno. BUT, I did absolutely love the mushroom mix and making my own fried onions to go on top was also very yummy.
