Very disappointed by this recipe. I anticipated use of real- unprocessed – ingredients. Instead this is the same tired can-o-crap recipe.

I understand what you’re looking for; however, that is how green bean casserole came into existence. These are the ingredients used. This recipe is just our variation of an old tradition. I’m sorry this wasn’t the version you preferred.
Kim Gandy says
Love this traditional recipe, and I prefer Worcestershire sauce to the soy sauce that is in the Campbell’s soup recipe for this. I always saute some extra garlic and onions to add . . .
