Allergy Free Green Bean Casserole

I do not like green bean casserole.  Never, ever have.  I don't like canned green beans or canned soups or green mushy foods.  But my hubby has been sweetly asking me for green bean casserole for months.  I finally relented and searched around for recipes, made tons of changes, tried it a few different ways and finally found a recipe that he loves.  And I have to admit, I kinda like it too.  You know, it's not half bad when it's made with fresh or frozen green beans and made from scratch.  It also helps that my hubby made homemade onion rings for the topping.  I no longer hate green bean casserole and the kids thought it was pretty good!  I guess I'll make it again for the hubby.......
