Reviews
FINALLY a green bean casserole that is not a gross mushy mess. I used 1/2 stick butter, 1 egg, no water or leek and everything else the same. I admit it is a bit dry the way I made it but I really like it. Sometimes I add 3 tablespoons of spaghetti sauce or salsa to my serving.
Although we didn’t completely enjoy this recipe, the family believes the recipe has lots of potential and will definitely make it again. Next time, to start, I will add lots more green beans OR reduce the amount of stuffing mix. I will also NOT saute the green beans before baking – they turned out shriveled, dry, and limp and the 40 minute cook time should be sufficient (especially for French cut beans).
