Green Bean Casserole
Can y'all believe Thanksgiving is less than TWO WEEKS away?! November has literally flown by! I promised to post a ton of excellent holiday recipes & today is none other than Green Bean Casserole, which happens to be one of my faves! While it's definitely not the most glamorous dish -- it's delicious & everyone LOVES it! ;)
What separates this recipe from this rest is the freshly grated PARMESAN cheese that is sprinkled all over the top. It takes this from being an ordinary green bean casserole to EXCEPTIONAL! :)
Feel free to use fresh green beans if you prefer but I always use the really good frozen french green beans! Oh, and did I mention that you can make this ahead of time?!? For me to this absolutely KEY for anything you're going to serve on Thanksgiving! Enjoy y'all!
