French Green Bean Casserole

It's a shame what's been done to Green Bean Casserole. 

In an effort to make it "convenient" it's been turned to mush! The old-fashioned-from-scratch way is not at all difficult and the results are superior. So why serve mush?

Grandma always made hers from scratch. The one time she made it the "convenient" way, she quietly returned to the old way the next time. Without a doubt, she knew what tasted good and you will taste the difference too!
