Chorizo Sausage and Green Bean Casserole

Now THIS is a side dish everyone can get behind!  Creamy Chorizo Sausage and Green Bean Casserole - because Chorizo makes everything taste better!  This recipe is creamy and savory. It's smokey from the chorizo and earthy from the mushrooms. It's hearty, and oh-so-yummy!  It's my new version of a Thanksgiving green bean casserole and it's fresher, has more texture, and has more depth of flavor. It can also be entirely prepped ahead to save time and then quickly baked right before serving.
