It seemed that Green Bean Casserole only happened once a year in our family.

That time was at Thanksgiving. Last year, we all enjoyed it so much, there were no leftovers.

I started thinking... "Why is it I don't make this throughout the year anyhow?"

So I decided, why not?!

A couple of months later, I had Green Bean Casserole on the menu

and for some reason didn't have the meat portion that was supposed to go with it.

So I improvised... "Hmm... We all like that Chicken & Rice Bake. Why not do something like that?"

So I remember searching the freezer to see what I could quick thaw.

Result... Ground turkey (we don't use actual hamburger here).

So I made up my Green Bean Casserole, threw in my cooked ground turkey,

and in my freezer I had some cooked, long grain rice... so I threw it in!

I added a little more milk, tossed it in the oven and viola... supper!

We all devoured it! Even our 'picky' son. *Ü*

It has since then become a 'regular' in our family.

We had it tonight and I thought I would share.

I made two 13x9 baking dishes of the casserole and there is 3/4 of one left.

Great for leftovers or frozen till later!

Try it! If you like Green Bean Casserole, you'll enjoy it.
