How to Make a Green Bean Cheese Casserole
The green bean casserole is a classic American dish widely served as a side at Thanksgiving or Christmas. Use Cheez Whiz Cheese Dip or Velveeta cheese for easy, even melting of the cheese sauce. For a sassy Southwestern flavor, use Cheddar cheese and salsa (choose mild, medium or hot), or salsa con queso instead of the regular cheese. This recipe takes 5 minutes to prepare, and should serve six when complete. Does this Spark an idea?
