Green Bean Casserole Recipe

Every family has their version of a traditional green bean casserole recipe.

It’s the vegetable version of “comfort food” — green beans, condensed cream of mushroom soup, and of course, crispy fried onions from a can.

We created a lighter version of the classic green bean casserole recipe with mushrooms, fresh herbs, sherry wine, yogurt, and crispy onions not from a can and we think it tastes even better than the original!
