Green Bean Casserole is my second favorite food for Thanksgiving, my most favorite is stuffing. But recently, my green bean casseroles have turned out very soupy.
So today I went the extra, extra, extra mile. I fully defrosted the green beans by draining them in a colander then patting them down with paper towels. Voila! Incredible, non-soupy green bean casserole!
Today’s song connection is admittedly a stretch, but green bean casserole and musician Lee Greenwood do go together. I love Lee Greenwood‘s song “God Bless the USA.” Tomorrow is Memorial Day and I don’t think we can ever have too many patriotic songs! I covered “God Bless the USA” on my album As American As Jazz: A Patriotic Celebration of the USA, but it’s Lee Greenwood’s version that I remember watching fireworks to on the Fourth of July as a kid.
