String Bean Casserole

Green Bean Casserole Recipe

This is a delicious recipe from my mother's recipe collection.  Green beans are always a challenge to serve differently. I usually fix my green beans by boiling them up with a slab of bacon or a dab of bacon grease. This Casserole is always good for company as a side dish.

• 1 can slice mushrooms
• 1 medium onion sliced
• ½ cup butter
• ¼ cups flour
• 2 cups milk
