Ok, I’m not just saying this but Green Bean Casserole is one of my top 3 favorite side dishes on Thanksgiving. It’s soooo savory and creamy and delicious I look forward to it every single year. I’ve been hesitant to create a healthy version because I just didn’t know if it could ever live up to its unhealthy counterpart. Like you guys, I seriously LOVE a traditional green bean casserole... I officially, however, will never ever go back after this one. I mean, it’s just WOW. Try it out, impress your friends and in laws and whoever you’re trying to impress. This will get you there.
