WICKED HEALTHY ORGANIC GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE

© 2024 Wicked Foods Inc. All rights reserved.

We’re expanding on the traditional dish with a twist of Wicked Hot and maybe some sophistication if we can muster that up.  As we recall Green Bean Casserole the classic version has canned condensed soup, frozen or canned green beans and some times packaged Funyuns, at least thats how we’ve seen it.   Here’s what we came up with on the full flavor WH side of things, the results are ‘swag!’ as the kids say these days.  If you leave the garnish off this is easily done oil free, gluten free, guilt free and already is dairy free. That’s a whole lot of free’s!

The key to this one is in the prep, it might take a little longer to cut all the green beans and everything so wicked thin but it’s totally worth it!
