Optional add-ins to spice up your green bean casserole:
If you want to make your green bean casserole a little more fun, I would suggest adding French fried onions, walnuts, or chunks of hard boiled egg. Some like to add Mushrooms or freshly shredded cheeses to their green bean casserole and I believe they would be delicious in this casserole as well!
Step 1: For fresh or partially steamed green beans: Steam for around 5-10 minutes depending on how crunchy you prefer them. Place the green beans into a large mixing bowl and combine with cream of soups, seasonings, ham or bacon and shredded cheddar cheese.

Storage and prep ahead notes for this green bean casserole:
The crushed Doritos do not stay crispy for very long. I would suggest prepping the green bean casserole and the crushed Dorito mixture separately (if prepping ahead of time) then compiling them after the green beans are baked and right before you are ready to serve them. If you just really hate soggy Doritos and you have a lot of leftovers, you can always scrape off the old Doritos and crush up a batch of fresh Dorito chips to top the casserole after reheating. Adding melted butter to the chips is optional.
