Who loves green bean casserole? We do a potluck kind of holiday and I made this amazing green bean casserole for Thanksgiving and  my mom made Turkey dinner with all the fixings.  Last month you may remember that we shared a dinner that I attended at Deuxave Restaurant in Boston sponsored by Hood® Cream. Today, I am sharing my version of a “green bean casserole” featuring Hood Half and Half .

The most insanely delicious side dish you will ever eat. Sometimes I add chopped mushrooms too. It depends who is eating it. My son won’t eat mushrooms so this time, I left them out. The trick though is adding the Hood Half and Half to make a rich creamy sauce. If want a thicker sauce, try their light cream or even cream instead of Half and Half. Stay tuned, next month I will be back with a brand new recipe from the Hood Cream’s eCookbook, “Chef Creations Inspired by Hood Cream.”
