My aunt and uncle love green bean casserole so I have agreed to bring that for christmas dinner. However my mom and a few others don't like the cream of mushroom soup in it. So I've looked up some alternative ways to make it. I found these that sound so yummy:

Here's a basic recipe with other options:

1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup
3/4 cup milk
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 packages (9 ounces each) frozen cut green beans, thawed*
1 1/3 cups French Fried Onions, divided

1. Combine soup, milk and pepper in a 1 1/2 -quart baking dish; stir until blended. Stir in beans and 2/3 cup French Fried Onions.
2. Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes or until hot. Stir. Sprinkle with remaining 2/3 cup onions. Bake 5 minutes or until onions are golden.

*Or 2 cans (14 1/2 ounces each) cut green beans, drained.

Tomato Alfredo Green Bean Casserole:
In step 1, substitute 1 cup prepared Alfredo sauce for the soup, and reduce milk to 1/2 cup; mix well. Stir in 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese and 1/3 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and cut into thin strips. Proceed as recipe directs.

Swiss-style Green Bean Casserole:
In step 1, add 1/3 cup sour cream, and reduce milk to 1/3 cup; mix well. Stir in 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese. Proceed as recipe directs.


Which one sounds more appealing? I am leaning more towards the Swiss-style. Does anyone else make it any other way that they like? I'm open to suggestions!

TIA!!
