Cracked Out Green Bean Casserole

Teresa Ambra
This mouthwatering casserole is so much better than classic Green Bean Casserole. It's flavors are enhanced with the addition of Ranch Dressing Mix and toasted bread crumbs. Plus, it's a quick and easy "from scratch" recipe without canned soups. It's marvelous for company or holiday dinners like Christmas, Easter or Thanksgiving.
