Forget the Cans- Real Green Bean Casserole image

My vegetable-picky husband swore he HATED green bean casserole. Turned out he just hates the mushy texture of it all, and the flavor of the canned beans his mom always served him. Get ready Super-wives of the world- this is NOT your mother-in-law's green bean casserole!
