Delicious! Only thing I added was some diced green peppers to the sauteed onions and omitted the water chestnuts!

I have never had a recipe that I didnt not like of Paula Deens so this kills me to rate it this low. I just didnt like the chestnuts/green bean and mayo combo. It sounded awesome on paper but once I tasted it I just couldnt eat it. My boyfriend on the other hand said it was good. He just would have left the chestnuts out of it. Anyways....I wouldnt make this again but will always try her recipes once. Thanks
