Story

Most of us recognize the famous Green Bean Casserole that appears on Holiday tables all over, and many of us have tweaked the recipe a little to call the dish our own. Adding mushrooms was my idea, but adding the bacon was my husband's idea. For a bacon lovin' man, this traditional side dish just got a whole lot better!
