'Not your Mama's' Green Bean & Mushroom Casserole
Growing up, Farmer Elizabeth loved that traditional green bean casserole made with canned beans and canned cream of mushrooms soup. A few decades later, the recipe has been updated to a modern version with our own garden beans and organic, gourmet mushrooms. While the recipe includes carmelized onions, we don't mind if you still reach for the Durkee fried onions!
