Servings 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 12 ounce package bacon cooked and crumbled
- 1 onion diced
- 1 8 ounce package mushrooms sliced. I used white mushrooms.
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 2 10.75 ounce cans cream of mushroom soup
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 cups shredded cheese cheddar, mozzarella, pepper jack, or your favorite
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 4 14 ounce cans cut green beans drained
- 2 cups French Fried Onions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large skillet, fry bacon until crispy. Remove from skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Crumble when cool and set aside.
- Drain bacon grease leaving 2 tablespoons in the skillet. Heat to medium heat, then add onions and mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Stir in mushroom soup, milk, crumbled bacon, cheese, pepper, and green beans to the skillet. Mix well.
- Pour into the prepared baking dish. Top with fried onions. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes or until bubbly and hot.
Notes
I used white mushrooms.
Shredded Cheese- Use your favorite-- cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack. I used Monterey Jack with Jalapeno Peppers.
*I usually don't add salt to this dish. The bacon, fried onions, and the cream of mushroom soup usually add enough salt. If needed, you can always set the salt shaker on the table for those that might need a little more.
