Martee Buchanan served this casserole to us during a recent visit to the Wesley Foundation at Radford University. I loved the colors in the dish along with the mixture of vegetables and of course, the taste! I like traditional green bean casserole – with the French fried onions and canned soup – but I like this one even more. It’s very easy to make. We’ve decided to serve Martee’s casserole at our next free takeout meal on the Saturday before Easter, beautifully paired with the Easter ham!
