I'll never forget the first year I decided to make this "healthier" green bean casserole. My husband insisted that I also make the traditional one from the back of the French's Fried Onions can in case it didn't turn out. After trying both, my family agreed my version was way more flavorful, and now it's the only way we eat green bean casserole.
