We don't do green bean casserole for Christmas. It is Thanksgiving fare only.
Asparagus casserole for Christmas with the Old English cheese, almonds, and Ritz crackers. It is the only time I will buy/eat Ritz. Hate them otherwise.

1 1⁄2 c. Ritz cracker crumbs
1 stick butter
2 (#2) cans cut green asparagus
1⁄2 c. slivered almonds
SAUCE:
4 tbsp. butter
3 tsp. flour
1 1⁄2 c. milk
1 jar Old English cheese spread
1⁄2 tsp. salt
Melt butter; mix with crumbs, saving enough to sprinkle on top. Line casserole with layer of crumbs, asparagus, then almonds. Heat sauce and pour over layers. Sprinkle crumbs on top. Bake at 450 degrees for 10-15 minutes.
I used to be a scalloped potato person. Now I am more or a steamed/roasted veggie person. I'm trying not to sink into middle age under my own weight.
