Howdy Fellow Chefs! I have a yummy side dish for you!
I’ve got another good one for you today. My Mom is a nutcase when it comes to insisting we have Green Bean Casserole for Thanksgiving – and just about any other time she can make it as well. So how about a recipe for the casserole WITH BACON????
Not a recipe you’ve never heard of I’m sure but maybe one you sort of forgot about – I don’t think most people put cheddar cheese OR bacon it it but it sure adds a lot!
Bacon Cheddar Green Bean Casserole
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 cans (10 1/2 ounces) Campbell’s® Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup or 98% Fat Free Cream of Mushroom Soup
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and chopped (about 6 tablespoons)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 8 cups cooked green beans or 4 cans (14.5 ounces each) any style Del Monte® Green Beans, drained
- 2 2/3 cups French’s® French Fried Onions
INSTRUCTIONS:
-
Step 1
Stir the soup, milk, half the cheese, 5 tablespoons bacon, black pepper, beans and 1 1/3 cups onions in a 3-quart baking dish.
-
Step 2
Bake at 350°F. for 25 minutes or until the bean mixture is hot and bubbling and the beans are tender (for softer beans bake a little longer). Stir the bean mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese, onions and bacon.
-
Step 3
Bake for 5 minutes or until the onions are golden brown.
Oh boy – I want a big old bowl of this now. Well, Mom wouldn’t give me a big bowl of it ANY TIME but maybe for Turkey Day this year since they will be home making their own meal for a change they could let me have a LITTLE TASTE????????????????????
Since we won’t see you before Thanksgiving has come and gone – we hope all of you who celebrate Thanksgiving have a wonderful time – even if it’s just your family at home instead of with big groups – you can be THANKFUL that you’re healthy and have delicious food to eat………………so many don’t.
That sounds tasty. I add strong cheddar to so many things.

Shockingly we are going to pass up Green bean casserole this year… we will see how long that decision holds up. I have all the stuff, even bacon because of the chicken breasts for the slow cooker and we always have Cheddar. I think this is a good recipe to jazz up green bean casserole. Maybe do it for Christmas.

Well you have to have it for Christmas if you don’t have it for Thanksgiving – YES I said “HAVE TO HAVE” because – well – if you don’t have it at the holidays, then I don’t think they will let you into heaven. 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

Mom said it will be a very simple, minimal tiny dinner this time. A turkey breast, the usual accompanying dishes but only a few..mashed potatoes, real mac and cheese. A green veggie, some stuffing and cranberry sauce…a bit of gravy, that’s about all. Only two of the favorite brovvers will be here. The rest will come for the desserts!
LikeLike
That sounds like what we’ll have without the mac and cheese (which my Mom LOVES but doesn’t make at Thanksgiving)…………..stuffing yes, cranberry/orange sauce yes, gravy totally, mashed ‘taters for sure…..and a small turkey breast (or breasticle as my Dad calls it). Mom is also making that apple pie I had on my blog last Saturday. Sounds like all of us are ready to enjoy TURKEY DAY!

Mom and I have NEVER had green bean casserole in our lives. Cream of mushroom soup scares us. Maybe knowing we could pick out the bacon pieces to share and leave the rest might draw us in…

HAHAHAHAHA…..well, I’ve heard of people using other soups like cream of celery but I have to think cream of mushroom is better than that. It’s just an old fashioned thing I think – my Mom always made it for Thanksgiving – and fortunately (for me and David anyway) we both love it. I rarely make it any other time of the year though!
