Green bean casserole; any good recipies?

[molly]

Hey everyone.

I have never made green bean casserole. But, my boyfriend is making it for his family this Thanksgiving. He made it the old fashioned way last year with the cream of mushroom soup, beans, and little onion thingies. But, he wants to do something a little different but still simple (he's a boy...hehe...) this year.

So, does anyone know a good green bean casserole recipie that might be a little different from the norm?

Thanks!
