Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 6 Slices Bacon
  • 2 Cups Mushrooms, (sliced)
  • 1 Cup Onion, (diced)
  • 2/3 Cup Half and half cream ((or 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk))
  • 1/3 Cup 2% milk ((or 1/2 cup almond milk))
  • 1/4 Cup Full fat cream cheese ((dairy free works too))
  • 1 1/4 tsp Sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp Pepper
  • 1 Lb Green beans, (trimmed)

Instruction

  • Pre heat your oven to 350 degrees and heat a large frying pan over medium heat.
  • Cook the bacon until VERY golden brown and crispy on each side.  Once cooked, transfer to a paper towel lined plate and blot off any excess fat.  Discard most of the fat in the pan, reserving about 1 Tbsp.
  • Heat the pan to medium/high and add in the mushrooms and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
  • Add in all the other ingredients, except the beans  and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken, about 4 minutes. Then, reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is VERY thick, like condensed soup, about 7-8 minutes.
  • While the sauce cooks, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.  Add in the green beans and cook until they just begin to become fork tender, about 7-8 minutes. Drain and pat as much of the water off of them with a paper towel.
  • Add the green beans into the sauce and stir until well coated. Press into an 8x8 inch pan and cook until bubbly, about 15-20 minutes.
  • While the beans cook, place the bacon in a food processor and pulse until small crumbs form.  Sprinkle on the casserole and then bake for an additional 5 minutes.
  • DEVOUR!
