Ok, truth. This is not the easy-peezy, green bean casserole from a series of cans.

This Green Bean Casserole is a slight pain in the you-know-what to make to be perfectly honest. But, in my humble opinion and for whatever it is worth, it is THE BEST one you will ever eat. I would even go as far as to say think Can-O-Spam verse a perfectly cooked beef tenderloin.

The fresh ingredients brought together in the spirit of this iconic dish, but in a most updated and foodie fabulous way, takes this formerly canned side dish to the surprise Super-Star of the meal.
