green bean and artichoke casserole

This recipe is one passed down to me by my Mother-in-Law.  I've never really been big into green bean casseroles, so when this showed up one year at a holiday, I was a little skeptical.  However, I tasted it and was intrigued! The flavors fell into place perfectly. The artichoke compliments the green beans and makes it almost feel like a delicate dish.
