When I first started making green bean casseroles for

our traditional holiday dinners, I used the standard recipe

with canned beans, cream of mushroom soup, and

French’s fried onions. I’ve stepped up my game a bit and

switched to fresh green beans. I also replaced bacon with

turkey bacon. Not being satisfied with these revisions,

I searched for a recipe that was worthy of a place at our

Thanksgiving dinner table. I found Paula Deen’s Green

Bean Casserole recipe at www.foodnetwork.com.

I modified it a bit, kept the turkey bacon and added

garlic, milk, Worcestershire sauce. It was a big hit.

Thanks Ms. Deen!
