Ingredients
The following ingredients have 7 Servings
- 24 oz. fresh green beans, washed, drained, and trimmed OR frozen green beans (thawed)
- 3 slices bacon, diced
- 1 large onion, diced
- 1 (8 ounce) container sliced white mushrooms
- 1 ¼ cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ½ cup sliced almonds
Instruction
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spray a large casserole dish with cooking spray and place fresh green beans in the bottom of the dish.
- In a large skillet, fry bacon over medium-high heat until just crisp (about 4-5 minutes). Add onions and mushrooms; cook until just soft (about 5-7 more minutes).
- Add chicken broth, cornstarch, salt and pepper to the skillet and whisk to combine (scraping the brown bits from the bottom of the skillet for maximum flavor!). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and allow sauce to simmer and thicken (about 5-10 minutes).
- Pour sauce over green beans and toss to coat.
- Cover casserole with lid or foil and bake for approximately 35 minutes (or until green beans are tender). Remove cover, sprinkle top of casserole with almonds, and return to the oven for 5-10 more minutes (or until almonds are toasted and golden). Season with additional salt and pepper, to taste.
