Who hasn’t had French’s Green Bean Casserole at Thanksgiving? Well, this is basically the same thing. We’ve just added bacon, mushrooms, and more seasoning. And yes, we have it every year at Thanksgiving . . . and whenever it sounds good. Nana prefers her green beans a little more healthy.  If you do too, you can try her green beans with mushrooms or green bean haystacks.

Ingredients

• 2 – 10.5-ounce cans cream of mushroom
• 4 – 14.5-ounce cans green beans, drained
• 1 cup cooked bacon, chopped
• 2 – 4-ounce cans mushrooms
• 1 ½ cups milk
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon Julio’s Seasoning
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon pepper
• 3 cups or more French fried onions

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Grease a 9×13.
• Mix all ingredients, except for 2 cups of French fried onions. (You want enough onions in the casserole to keep it from being soupy and runny, but not so much that it dries it out. Adjust the amount you want in your casserole.)
• Pour into your prepared 9×13 and bake for 30 minutes or until bubbly.
• Evenly cover the dish with the remaining French fried onions. (This is also done to taste. Some don’t like the crispy layer on top.)
• Bake for an additional 5 minutes to toast the French fried onions on top.

“O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.”
Psalm 34:8
