An ultra-creamy version of our beloved green bean casserole, made with cut green beans, bacon, sauteed onion and garlic, shredded cheese, cream cheese and crispy French-fried onions, with the classic cream soup base.

Green Bean Supreme Casserole

Do you love a green bean casserole? It has a following for sure, but it has just as many haters I guess, though I just don't understand.

I guess it's the fact that it has been a part of my holiday meals all of my life and frankly, a tradition, so I've always loved it. Though no holiday goes by without this dish - in some form - appearing on the dinner table, I don't reserve it only for holidays either.

You do realize that there are many different ways to make it, right? I've actually got a few variations right here on Deep South Dish in fact!

This southern heat seems to get harder and harder on this old body every summer and it has been unbearable some days, to the point where a minute outside is more than enough. When it's not hotter than hot, it's raining. Like bucket-loads kinds of rain. There were a few times I thought the Gulf Coast was gonna float away into the Gulf of Mexico!

My gardens that were so beautiful this spring, are now loaded with weeds, but with the heat index it's impossible to get out there long enough to make a difference. Doing it early in the morning or late in the afternoon just means getting carried away by gnats. It's just a no-win situation!
