Cheesy Green Beans with Bacon image

Cheese and bacon liven up plain green beans. This dish can be served immediately after preparing, but I often refrigerate it overnight to let the flavors blend together, then reheat it in a 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven until heated through.

CHEESY GREEN BEANS



CHEESY GREEN BEANS image

I had this recipe many years.It's requested at family gatherings. The recipe states to microwave the green beans,I found steaming the green beans works best.

Provided by Ed Powell

Categories     Vegetables

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 lb cut green beans, frozen
1 lb thick sliced bacon
12 oz squeezable cheez whiz
1 lb mushrooms, fresh
3/4 c onion, chopped
3/4 tsp black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Cook the bacon in a large skillet on medium heat until crisp. Drain the bacon and reserve 1/4 cup of the drippings.Crumble bacon keeping 2 tablespoons
  • 2. Microwave the green beans as directed on package,drain well.

  • 5. Microwave the cheez whiz as directed on label. Drizzle over the green beans mixture. Sprinkle with the reserved 2 Tablespoons of crumbled bacon.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when bent. Avoid beans that are wilted, bruised, or have yellow or brown spots.
  • Trim the green beans: Remove the stem ends of the beans by snapping them off or using a sharp knife. You can also trim the ends of the beans if they are particularly long.
  • Blanch the green beans (optional): Blanching the green beans helps to preserve their color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Immediately transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Make the cheese sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and bubbly. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thickened and smooth. Stir in the cheese and cook until melted and smooth.
  • Combine the green beans and cheese sauce: Add the green beans to the cheese sauce and stir to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve immediately: Cheesy green beans are best served hot. You can garnish them with chopped parsley or chives.
