Before going in the oven
CHEESY GREEN BEAN
CASSEROLE
This side dish is great! Green bean casserole is more dressy than plain green beans at the table and looks like you went to so much trouble, and let's face it, it tastes that much more interesting, too. Most times plain
green beans will do, but occasionally I like to dress them up! We all need a good green bean casserole in our low-carb arsenal of recipes.
