Lighter Hash Brown and Green Bean Casserole

Submitted by nsomniak6

"Our family is trying to cut calories and fat wherever we can, so I came up with this mixture of a hash brown casserole and a green bean casserole. All of the hash brown recipes used a lot of butter, but I only used a couple of tablespoons of Smart Balance stick butter. Make sure the green beans are drained very well and although I only used one can in my recipe feel free to use more. I was going to chop up some leftover Corned Beef, and throw it in too but I didn't have it but it was great just as is."
