No canned anything Green Bean Casserole


A fresh-ingredient green bean casserole

One of the best parts of the Thanksgiving feast, besides the turkey of course, is the green bean casserole. Many people who make it, rely on at least some canned ingredient.  But Ellie Krieger, author of Comfort Food Fix told Tonia a better way to make that casserole, is to use fresh mushrooms, complete with fresh herbs.  Use lower fat milk for the cream, and it gets healthier as well.  Instead of the fried onions, use shallots to create that crispy crust.  Ellie says making the casserole with fresh ingredients will leave your dinner guests clamoring for more, and you'll never go back to the can!
