We kind of perfected out previous brussels sprouts dish here, but we wanted to think of another one asap.

Frozen Vegetable Casserole Recipe
Today I have a spin off of the original Green Bean Casserole. While the traditional version is fabulous, especially on a holiday {hello Thanksgiving!}, it is always a good idea to change things up. I have to admit that I hadn’t thought much about Green Bean Casserole until about a month ago when we were invited to a friend’s house for dinner. They served it with tri-tip and it was SO good. Of course, I couldn’t leave well enough alone and so I decided to come home and try to make a variation. Friends, it was a great idea because this Frozen Vegetable Casserole is delicious.
