I love Paula's cookin' but this is bland city; try fresh beans and add a little soy sauce and thai pepper sauce to take this dish East and put some jewelry on this pig.

Just love this casserole! The mayo adds a bit of tang and extra flavor. I have also made it with frozen chopped broccoli instead of the green beans and it's just as good! Some reviews said they left out the water chestnuts, but I can't imagine it without that wonderful crunch. I've also at times added sliced mushrooms. This has become one of our favorites! Thank you for sharing, Paula - you are the queen of good taste. (I have used the low fat mayo and it works fine.

Wonderful blend of flavors. I added some ground pepper and sea salt to decrease sodium. I did not have the water chestnuts but if I have them next time it would have made a good crunch. I crushed some saltines on top individual portions and added a litt extra cheese.
It was a sinch to make and I am greatful to Paula for sharing her recipes with all of us. Being a mom and even a busy mom and having picky kids that you can sneak stuff in is great. Thank you.
