Today's recipe is such and amazing and simple comfort food! 

These Cheesy Baked Green Beans are one of the best ever side dishes. It's made with easy ingredients and it comes together so fast.

The combo of gouda and parmesan cheese along with the garlic and lemon zest add so much flavor. I absolutely love fresh green beans and usually keep them pretty basic, because they don't need a whole lot of flavor to taste great.

The browned cheese on top adds such a nice texture and tops everything off nicely.

This side dish is a wonderful addition to your holiday meal, Sunday dinner or even weeknight dinner. Kids love it and it's affordable for families since there's eight servings. Give these green beans a try with this delicious Cajun Turkey recipe for Thanksgiving or Christmas!

The leftovers reheat well and would be great for lunch the next day.
