Tantalize your taste buds with our delectable Green Bean Casserole with Bacon and Wine, a dish that seamlessly blends classic flavors with unexpected twists. This culinary masterpiece starts with fresh green beans, perfectly cooked to retain their crisp-tender texture. Crispy bacon adds a smoky, savory dimension, while aromatic shallots and garlic lend a subtle depth of flavor. The secret ingredient, however, is a splash of white wine, which deglazes the pan and infuses the casserole with a hint of sophistication.
But that's not all! This recipe also includes two variations to cater to diverse preferences. The first variation introduces a creamy mushroom sauce, made with sautéed mushrooms and a rich, velvety sauce. The second variation incorporates a tangy tomato sauce, featuring juicy tomatoes, zesty herbs, and a touch of heat. Whether you prefer the classic casserole, the creamy mushroom variation, or the tangy tomato variation, you're in for a culinary treat.

GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE WITH BACON AND WINE
I tried this green bean casserole variation for Easter one year and loved the kicked up flavor from the bacon, wine and soy sauce. I hadn't cooked this casserole in years, but scoured the web, found this recipe and we devoured it! UPDATE: I corrected this recipe to adjust the cooking time and temperature so the recipe could be doubled easily.

GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE WITH BACON
Frozen French-cut green beans can be used in place of fresh to save time. Make sure to thaw them first, drain well, and pat dry with paper towels.

Steps:
- Heat 1/2 inch of safflower oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Toss shallot rings with 1 tablespoon flour. Fry the shallots in batches, turning frequently, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Season with salt.
- Cook green beans in a large pot of salted boiling water until bright green and just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water to cool. Drain well and pat dry with paper towels. Trim beans, slice in half lengthwise, and cut into 2- to 3-inch pieces.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Heat a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high. Add bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Drain and discard fat.
- Return skillet to medium-high. Add butter, onion, and mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally and scraping up brown bits on the bottom of skillet as the vegetables release their juices, until tender and just beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 3 tablespoons flour and cook, stirring, until mixture begins to turn golden, 1 minute. Slowly stir in milk and continue stirring until mixture coats the back of a spoon, about 13 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in mustard, cayenne, and Worcestershire. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in cooled green beans and 1/2 cup reserved cooked bacon.
- Transfer mixture to a 2 1/2-quart shallow baking dish; cover. Bake until mixture is bubbly and heated through, 15 minutes. Uncover, top with remaining bacon and fried shallots, and serve immediately.
TOTALLY ADDICTIVE GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE
This doesn't have any cream but it is so good that I will eat it cold. It's sweet, tangy, and includes bacon. I shamelessly asked Pat, my mother-in-law, for the recipe before we had even left the table. I wrote it down on the first piece of paper I could find...the back of an envelope. It's now tucked away in one of my personal cookbooks. The first time I made it, I did it exactly as she told me...after that though, I started playing around with it...hope you like it enough to do the same.

Steps:
- Put all the beans inside of a deep casserole dish, evenly distribute the thinly sliced onions on top and set aside.
- In a sauce or saute pan, fry the bacon -- and save the drippings from it. Don't fry the bacon in the microwave because you will lose the drippings that you will need later to make the dressing.
- Put the fried bacon on paper towels to drain. After it has become crispy, crunch the bacon into little pieces and put ontop of the bean mixture.
- Meanwhile, drain all the bacon fat from the pan except for 6 tablespoons. I do this by pouring all the bacon drippings (without scraping any bacon bits from the pan) into a heat-proof bowl and then I measure out 6 tablespoons of the fat to put back into the pan.
- Add the sugar and vinegar to the bacon drippings.
- Heat this mixture to a light boil for about 2 minutes.
- Pour this mixture over the beans in the casserole dish. You can immediately bake OR if you have the time, cover it and let it marinade overnight in the refridgerator.
- If you have let it marinade overnight, take it out of the refridgerator about 1 hour before baking so it can return to room temperature.
- Bake, uncovered at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

Tips:
- Use fresh green beans. Fresh green beans are more flavorful and have a better texture than frozen or canned beans.
- Don't overcook the green beans. Green beans should be cooked until they are tender-crisp, not mushy.
- Use high-quality bacon. The quality of the bacon will make a big difference in the flavor of the casserole.
- Don't skimp on the wine. The wine adds a lot of flavor to the casserole, so use a good-quality wine that you enjoy drinking.
- Use a good-quality cheese. The cheese is one of the main ingredients in the casserole, so use a cheese that you love the taste of.
- Serve the casserole hot. Green bean casserole is best served hot out of the oven.
Conclusion:
Green bean casserole is a classic holiday dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy sauce, crispy bacon, and flavorful green beans, it's no wonder that this dish is so popular. If you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make holiday side dish, green bean casserole is the perfect choice.
