Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 lb fresh green beans, trimmed and chopped in half if they're real long
8 oz stemmed, sliced cremini mushrooms
1 large white onion, chopped
1/2 stick butter or margarine
1 pkg center cut bacon
1 pkg French fried onions, 6 oz
2 can(s) cream of mushroom soup, 10.5 oz each
32 oz chicken broth or stock
1-2 tsp garlic powder and fresh chopped garlic (to your liking)
several shakes of Parmesan cheese (the grated kind, not fresh)
salt to taste and lots of pepper

Steps:

  • 1. I started by chopping and dicing everything that needed it to save time.
  • 2. Then boil the green beans covered on med/high heat in the chicken broth with salt and pepper until tender (about 10 minutes). Not too tender because you don't want soggy green beans (no one likes that).
  • 3. While they were boiling, I cooked all the bacon until pretty crispy and drained it on paper towels, chopped it and set it off to the side. When the green beans are done, drain them and leave them in the pot uncovered.
  • 4. Sautee the mushrooms and onion in the butter with a pinch of salt and pepper until the mushrooms have shrunk down and the onions are tender. While they're cooking, add the garlic.
  • 5. Add the mushroom/onion mixture and the cream of mushroom soup to the green beans with another pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
  • 6. Dump the mixture into a casserole dish, add 1/2 the bacon, and 1/2 the French fried onions. Stir.
  • 7. Then sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top and bake on 400 for about 15-20 minutes until it's bubbly.
  • 8. Top with the remaining French onions, bacon, and another generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Return to the oven for another 15 minutes or until the French onions start to get a nice brown color.
  • 9. Enjoy!!!
