We’re not a green bean casserole family – normally we slow cook it all day long with a ham hock, but when my mother in law brought me a ten pound bag of fresh pecans….I wanted to try something different.
Being obsessed with brown butter (y’all seriously it’s the BEST), I decided to mix things up and make brown-butter green beans with pecans! They were a hit!
