What type of beans to use in our gluten free green bean casserole?
FRESH GREEN BEANS. This is a must for a delicious a green bean casserole: You must use fresh green beans.
Does that mean you have to snap a lot of green beans? Yes, but trust me, it is worth it.
I grew up on the traditional green bean casserole with canned green beans. Never was a huge fan of green bean casserole until I made them with fresh green beans! It makes a HUGE difference.

Chopped Onions? Check

Which leaves us with the one ingredient that had me stumped: The can of cream of mushroom soup.
