Here's a fresh-tasting, flavorful replacement for fattening green bean casserole. Our version's just as tasty and of course, healthier, too. Fresh string beans are the star of this side dish. The entire dish is cooked in the skillet. First, the green beans are cooked in a skillet with button mushrooms until lightly browned and tender. Panko breadcrumbs mixed with dehydrated onion flakes make a crispy topping which crisps to golden perfection in the skillet. This makes an excellent side dish for a holiday meal or serve with meat loaf or roasted chicken.
