Do You Like Green Beans?
I love vegan green bean casserole because I love green beans and those crunchy fried onions that generally top a green bean casserole. Green beans are a magical veggie with all sorts of healthy vitamins and minerals our bodies need. So they not only taste great but they are good for you…even if in a casserole! I can’t wait to see how Michelle’s recipe turned out. And if you are interested in trying this recipe for yourself or the upcoming holidays, it is posted below, so get cooking!
