I've followed you for over 10 years and realized I don't think I've ever commented. I just wanted to let you know that I often look for recipes with "Chef John" included in my search. I've made this green bean casserole for several Thanksgivings and it's always very well received. I love your humor and have learned so much from watching you over the years! I was watching some of your videos yesterday and it dawned on me how much of a role you've played in my cooking for a long time now. So thank you! Me and my daughter used your recipe for pumpkin pie yesterday. Have a happy Thanksgiving!

"Make sure to use your hands so you burn yourself" and "If you are afraid of cutting yourself, have your kids do this step" are the best Chef John lines in Food Wishes history.

Every time I see a green bean casserole recipe I am reminded of the time I went with a then-boyfriend to his uncle's for Thanksgiving only to learn that no one there could cook anything more complicated than scrambled eggs and toast. So I made an entire Thanksgiving dinner for 12 by myself in someone else's kitchen with low quality equipment. At least they thawed the turkey and had purchased quality ingredients. And a cousin volunteered to help keep things tidy and wash things between dishes while I worked so that was helpful.

Chef John-“if you’re on your grandma’s porch” brought a smile and a tear- I did learn to prep green beans from my dear Grandma on her porch in West Virginia! Best cook ever! Her main ingredient was Love!

I have made this a couple times and have been "ordered" to make it for Thanksgiving this year again. I usually don't care of the traditional casserole, but this one is a crowd pleaser!

Chef John has the most amazing sense of humour, I literally have to watch his recipes twice - first time to laugh out loud and, the second to smile whilst concentrating on his recipe

I'm a 38 year old man and almost nothing in this world makes me happier than hearing "the tappa tappa."  There, I said it.

Chef John’s channel are the ONLY videos where I don’t check the length nor speed up. The best!!

I should do a t-shirt that says, "Yes, I'd tappa tappa that."

This guys commentary made me really happy for some reason...

"definitely burn your hands"
He could be a comedian and a chef. I love how he says it in a serious tone. lol

I made this last year and everyone loved it! I mix the cheese into the sauce, along with the green beans so that everything is nice and coated and then assemble as done here :)

your voice is so calming that when you have grandchildren they would absolutely love your bedtime stories :)

[HearturMind]

I love your sense of humor. And you are the best “doctor up” guy for recipes that are not so culinary. Thanks for making it fun.

[foodwishes]

@HKOverlord117 Yeah, it is a pretty advanced technique. You need to put butter in pan, and turn on the heat until it melts. Took me like 3 semesters of culinary school before I got that one down. ;)

I have made this recipe twice. Huge hit every time. My kids hate green beans but love them in this recipe!

[jenniferburgess]

I love how nice these comments are! I never here enough positive commentary anywhere else!

And after 10 years of this video I still come back and watch it again because I love his recipes 🥰
