What makes this Light Green Bean Casserole so good?
I love using swiss cheese in my green bean casserole- it gives this dish amazing flavor. The brand I use is Finlandia light swiss-I buy it in a block and grate it.
I love to use the cut green beans instead of the french style green beans for this casserole. However, either one would work
I use French’s french onions to add a light crunch to this casserole-and gives it so much delicious flavor.

I’m not sure but I think you may have omitted a step in the recipe maybe…when making the roux, and then adding the soup, shouldn’t water have been added? As I made the recipe as called for but the consistency of the roux was too thick and too salty, so that’s why I think either water or milk should have been added to the roux process. Can you clarify this please and thank you.

Have you tried subbing another kind of cheese? I can't find light Swiss cheese. Maybe mozarella?

Can this be made without the cheese? Didn’t know if it would mess up the consistency of it.
