Green bean casserole ideas?

[aklee987]

So my wife decided that we are having Easter dinner with some neighbors. Which is fine, but she signed me up to bring green bean casserole.

Not brisket, or ribs, or pulled pork, or anything cool like that.

Has anyone ever made a smoked green bean casserole? Or have a good recipe that doesn't consist of opening 4 cans and dumping them in a casserole?

Any help would be appreciated.

A friend of mine just told me the other day how he would prepare green beans similar to fixing baked beans. He drained the water off the green beans added cooked bacon and bbq sauce (leave a little water if bbq sauce is thick) then baked them for a half an hour @ 350 degrees. I haven't tried it myself but he claims they are awesome.

I put cheese on the top of my green bean cass.  What about smoked cheese if you have any?

Thanks for the ideas.

I don't have any smoked cheese, but I think I can get hold of some homemade stuff.

I'll think about the bbq sauce idea as well.

At the very least, I'll make homemade fried onions for the topping. And I'd like to use fresh green beans, not canned.

The green bean casserole with smoke cheese on top such as cheddar or even mozzarella sounds great. Just have to start a few weeks in advance getting the cheese smoked.
