GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE WITH MUSHROOM BECHAMEL
I wanted to create a substitute for the canned cream of mushroom soup. Over the years it just seemed to not taste the same to me - so I thought I would try to improve on the recipe. This will feed a large crowd (15) at the holidays - so cut it down if it is for a smaller family.
