GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE (MUSHROOM, GARLIC AND BACON, OH MY!)
Every year it is my BF's and my job to bring the green bean casserole to the Thanksgiving dinner. The recipe started with us just adding bacon (because EVERYTHING is better with bacon) and then we added more "stuff" till we came up with this super fattening, garlic laden delight. Maybe next time we might have to add shredded cheese and some sauteed onions. . . food for thought :)

Tips:
- Fresh is best: Use fresh green beans for the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh green beans, you can use frozen green beans, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
- Blanch your green beans: Blanching the green beans before adding them to the casserole will help them retain their bright green color and crisp texture.
- Use high-quality bacon: The bacon is one of the key ingredients in this casserole, so be sure to use a good quality bacon that you enjoy the taste of.
- Don't overcook the casserole: The casserole is best when it is cooked just until the green beans are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Overcooking the casserole will make the green beans mushy and the cheese rubbery.
- Serve immediately: The casserole is best served immediately after it is cooked. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Bacon and Almond Green Bean Casserole is a classic holiday side dish that is always a crowd-pleaser. It is easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time. With its creamy sauce, crispy bacon, and crunchy almonds, this casserole is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
