Crack Green Beans

There are several dishes that seem to always prompt a response around the holidays and the “green bean casserole” is one of them. Folks either love or hate it. Over the years I have seen lots of versions and variations and during a recent LIVE, Sherry (@sherry_Skinner) shared a variation with her Crack Green Beans that she traditionally served at her table. You may recall Ms Sherry is also very popular with her version of Green Bean Bundles on tiktok as well.

Crack Green Beans
