This is not your ordinary holiday green bean casserole. This is the one my Mom made. I didn’t even know about the other green bean casserole until I was an adult, and have always preferred this one.
Mama's Green Bean Casserole
This is not YOUR Mama's Green Bean Casserole. This is the Green Bean Casserole that I grew up with. I did not know that there was a universal, holiday green bean casserole consumed by the masses until I was an adult. By then it was too late. The one my Mama made had imprinted on my soul. To make it gluten free I use Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1 to 1 Baking Flour for the flour and the potato chip topping option.
