I mean, I know that green bean casserole is a classic Thanksgiving dish...but I'm not a huge fan.
Green beans flooded in cream of mushroom and topped with fried onions just wasn't sounding the greatest to me.
And, I happen to be on a pomegranate kick lately. So...these just seemed almost to perfect!
Plus my sister, who is mostly vegetarian, really thought this sounded wonderful.
I can't let my sister down when she can't eat the delicious brined turkey.
These are quick to come together (except for the cutting the beans in half - that is a wee bit time-consuming. But it is totally worth it, and they taste so, so, so great!
