Bev's Green Bean Casserole

I make this from time to time for the holidays or dinner gatherings, and it is usually gone in seconds. People seem to like this one better than the classic green bean casserole recipe. I'd suggest substituting the canned corn with about a cup of fresh or frozen corn - it tastes much better. Sometimes I add some chopped potatoes or sliced celery, and I always use sharp cheddar cheese for optimum flavor. Try it for the holidays - you'll be a hit.
