Green Bean Casserole

Posted by admin on December 15th, 2008

Everyone and their Grandmother has made a Green Bean Casserole at one time in their lives. Most just put green beans, can of mushroom soup, and top with canned fried onions, put in oven and then they serve. At least that is how it went in my family and the reason why no one, including myself ever ate it.

Recently I came across this recipe at my favorite recipes site (BHG) and decided to try it. There was a lot of noses turned up, and a lot of “why?” questions, but in the end everyone did try it and enjoyed it.
