Green Bean Casserole is my favorite side dish! I worked on perfecting this recipe for a long time and now I can say- this is it! You will not be able to stop going for a second helping, and it is a sure winner with everyone! This recipe feeds a small crowd. Another option for the topping is French's fried canned onions. I use Kirkland brand for bacon bits from Costco and 21 Salute Seasoning from Trader Joes. The all-purpose seasoning you use should have no salt. Be creative with spices!
