Green Bean Casserole (no cans) - total time 45 minutes

When you think about how quickly the milk in your fridge expires, it makes you think about those things in your pantry that have milk in them... how do they last in cans for years without expiring?!  Tons of preservatives.  While preserving things can be good, it is always healthiest to eat food at its freshest... which means it cannot come from a can!  This is a makeover of one of the most notorious canned food culprit.
