Bonnie's Low-Carb Green Bean Casserole image

This luxurious, flavorful, rich casserole is great for the holidays or as an occasional treat... unless you are following a low-carb diet - then it's a weekly must! A favorite with both sides of my family and always gone at potlucks, it is my go-to 'take a dish' that everyone requests!

Time 1h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ pound sugar-free bacon
2 tablespoons butter
2 stalks celery, finely diced
½ green bell pepper, finely diced
½ medium onion, diced
¼ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup heavy whipping cream
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 (15 ounce) cans green beans, drained
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel until cool; crumble bacon into a bowl.
  • Melt butter in another skillet over medium heat. Add celery and bell pepper; cook until beginning to get soft, about 3 minutes. Add onion and cover the skillet. Cook over low heat until very soft, 5 to 10 minutes more.
  • Combine mayonnaise and cream in a large bowl. Add salt, black pepper, and garlic powder and stir to mix. Add crumbled bacon, green beans, and Cheddar cheese and toss to distribute sauce. Pour mixture into a 2-quart casserole dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly around the edges, about 30 minutes. Cover with a lid or aluminum foil if the top begins to get too brown.

This casserole was easy to make and very tasty. I used frozen green beans and it still turned out great. The casserole was creamy and flavorful, and the green beans were cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.
