Delicious Creamy Cheesy Green Bean Casserole

---

Another veggie family favorite. This can be prepared ahead of time, refrigerated and baked when ready. This is really good with ham. Although i have only made this recipe using frozen beans, i imagine that you could make this using about 3 cans of french-style beans, just omit cooking the beans. Also the 2 cups half and half can be replaced with whole milk, just watch carefully not to scald the milk while cooking.
