The holidays are right around the corner and it's time for me to start thinking about what I want to take to our big family feast.

My husband comes from a family of eight siblings and they have a huge holiday dinner gathering each year. It's crazy and overwhelming but really fun! I'm an only child so it's amazes to see everyone with all of their kids in the same room. For the first few years of our marriage, I never knew what dish to take since it was kind of like a potluck dinner.

At about year three, I figured out that a casserole would be a good idea. The hard part was making it fit with the holiday theme so it didn't seem out of place. That's why I decided to make a Creamy Cheesy Chicken and Green Bean Casserole. I could set it on the table and it just looked like it belonged there!

What I love about this casserole is that it's not hard to prepare and the flavor is amazing! It's a great weeknight dinner option and it's also a sneaky way to get your kids to eat more vegetables!

    Yessss I first used this recipe 3 years ago when I got married... since then I can't count how many times my husband asked me to make this ESPECIALLY when we had guests over! It's one of the first recipes I successfully achieved since being married (I've never cooked an actual meal by myself prior). Thank you for making me feel like the best cook in the world hahaha

    Can't find Cream Starter in my small town. Is there a substitute?

      If you can't find cream starter, you can always just use cream and thicken it up or use a cream soup like cream of chicken or cream of mushroom!
