Steps:
- Drain the green beans well and pat dry with paper towels. Too much liquid on the beans will thin the sauce.
- Place the heavy cream and cream cheese in a pan over medium heat.
- Whisk until the cream cheese softens and the sauce is smooth.
- Add the dried onions and soy sauce.
- Continue to stir until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- Add the green beans and simmer, stirring often, about 5 minutes.
- Sauce will be very thick and cling to the green beans. If not continue to simmer and stir.
- Taste and add pepper as needed.
- Place the green beans in 2 individual cast iron casseroles OR a small, heat proof dish.
- Sprinkle with cheese.
- Broil, watching carefully, until the cheese bubbles and turns golden.

MY LOW CARB GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE
I came up with this after several tries (experiments?)in an effort to reduce carbs. The traditional version has a very high carb count and lots of flavor. The carbs have been reduced here, but I think the flavor remains. I used bacon, which keeps the salty and crunch of french fried onions. I used Bertolli's Alfredo Sauce w/Portobellos instead of cream of mushroom soup, which keeps the mushrooms we love, but omits needless carbs! I used whole milk- yes whole- because it keeps it creamy and the fat adds flavor. My family loved this version and it's my husband's new favorite at the holidays. And, he's a difficult man to please! Plus it ended up being lower in calories than the traditional version! How great is that? -low carb, less calories.

Tips:
- Fresh is Best: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh green beans. If you don't have fresh green beans, frozen green beans can be substituted.
- Don't Overcook the Green Beans: Green beans should be cooked until they are tender-crisp. Overcooked green beans will be mushy.
- Use a Good Quality Broth: The broth you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the casserole. Use a broth that you enjoy the taste of.
- Don't Skimp on the Cheese: Cheese is one of the key ingredients in green bean casserole. Use a good quality cheese that melts well.
- Top with Fried Onions: Fried onions add a delicious crunch and flavor to the casserole. You can buy them pre-made or make your own.
Conclusion:
Bonnie's Low-Carb Green Bean Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover green beans, and it is also a great side dish for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner.
