Cheesy Green Bean Casserole
Cheesy Green Bean Casserole is NOT the typical Green Bean Casserole served during the holidays. This one is SO much better! It has a sour cream and cheddar cheese base making it creamy, and a Ritz Cracker and Cheddar Cheese topping making it crunchy. Fantastic for company or holiday meals like Mother's Day or Father's Day.
Equipment
- 1 large baking dish or the rectangular crock pot if you want to slow cook the reccipe
- 1 large mixing bowl
- 1 small mixing bowl
- 2 wooden spoons
- 1 Rolling Pin unless you want to crush the Ritz crackers in your hands
- measuring cups
- measuring spoons
- 1 sharp knife to cut vegetables
- 1 fork
Ingredients
- 36 oz. bag whole green beans (three 12-ounce bags)
- 1 cup celery chopped

- 1/4 tsp. sea salt

- 2 cups Ritz crackers crushed
- 1/2 cup butter melted (1 stick)
- 1/2 cup sharp Cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Cook green beans in microwave and drain.
- (I cook each 12-ounce bag for about 5 minutes on high).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine green beans with celery, onion, sour cream, 1/2 cup of Cheddar cheese and salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour into a greased 2-quart casserole dish.

- Bake at 300 degrees for 30-40 minutes.
Notes
NOTE: This is also good using just 24-ounces of green beans, rather than 36-ounces.
