Notes

  • This recipe combines the flavors of a cheeseburger with a green bean casserole.
  • For better texture, use blanched fresh green beans.
  • You can assemble ahead and bake longer if chilled.
  • For extra cheesiness, mix cheese into the casserole and top with remaining cheese.
  • Serve with pickles and ketchup for a burger-inspired twist.
