Directions
Green Bean Casserole from Cooks Illustrated, My sister-in-law told me about this version of green bean casserole. This is a great recipe made with fresh ingredients!, I’ve been making this recipe for 3 years and it’s a hit every time. At this point it’s the first thing my youngest brother insists that I make for Thanksgiving., I’ll never open a can of green beans again. The freshness of all the ingredients make this dish fit for a king! Once I brought it to a family gathering, it is requested over and over. I did use 8 ounces of baby portabella mushrooms instead of the white buttons, and LOVED it. It definitely takes more than 45 minutes to prepare, and much be watched carefully.
