Green Bean Casserole In A Skillet
Green Bean Casseroles are probably a classic and every cook probably has their favorite recipe stashed away in their repertoire. While some prefer using frozen and canned ingredients quickly tossed together with some green beans, I prefer a clean recipe with fresh ingredients and all made from scratch. I find that using nice fresh ingredients is vital to achieving the flavors we’re going for today. This casserole is pretty dense, with super rich ingredients so we need some fresh bright flavors to lighten it all up. Try this side dish out for your next big holiday get together, believe me you won’t regret it. My favorite thing about this incredible green bean casserole is the crispy fried onions, and the super rich base – and well I guess all of it. All in all, this casserole is my family’s favorite. A true comfort food that’s a must on your Thanksgiving table.
