Twisted Green Bean Casserole
Ingredients
1/2 cup sliced green onions
8 oz. sliced fresh mushrooms (baby bella)
2 cups sliced green beans (one can, drained)
2 cups chicken broth
1-2 Tbs. Garlic smashed cloves or pre-minced bits
1 can cream of cheddar soup
1 2.5 oz. pkg. Real Bacon bits
1 (6 oz.) pkg. French-fried onion
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Simmer mushroom, diced onion, and garlic in broth and drain. Add the green beans, cheddar cheese soup, bacon, and seasonings, to taste, to the mushroom/onion mixture.
Stir well. Pour into a greased 1 1/2-quart baking dish. Top with fried onion. Cover with foil. Bake for 20 minutes, remove foil and bake for 10 minutes longer, or until the casserole is hot and onion rings are toasted.
