We are so excited to be partnering with our friends at Jones Dairy Farm to bring you a scrumptious slow cooker meal perfect served for breakfast, Brinner or even as a perfect side holidays with family and friends, starring one of my favorite ingredients: Bacon!!!
You know growing up the 'traditional' green bean casserole was not a tradition in my house. My mom made a lot of scrumptious side dishes on the holidays but not the oh so popular green bean casserole. When I moved out to Arizona, Chad and I would spend the holidays with his family. Every holiday there was a green bean casserole.
Let's just say that his family loved it and there was never a bite left.
Years later the idea of a green bean casserole came back into my mind, but I started thinking about how I could completely revamped the famous semi-homemade version into modern rendition of the green bean casserole that will change your life and the way you do holiday dinners!
It all starts with that heavenly bacon. After it is fried and set aside, the entire dish is built on the bacon. Starting with the mshrooms and onion sauted in the bacon drippings. Then the cheese sauce is built on top of that. It just gets better and better. We used thawed frozen green beans for convenience, but you can use fresh if they are available. Just blanch them first.
To finish off this masterpiece, we have opted for crisp bacon for the addictive crunch that you are familiar with, but with so much flavor! This recipe completely redefines green bean casserole. It is sure to be on our Thanksgiving table year after year.

Ingredients
- 1 pound Jones Dairy Farm Dry Aged Hickory Smoked Bacon, cut into 1/2"-3/4" pieces
- 8 ounces sliced baby bella (aka crimini) mushrooms
- 1/2 medium yellow onion, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour *see gluten-free notes
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1-2 pinches red pepper flakes, to taste
- 2 cups whole milk

- 24 ounces frozen green beans, thawed
Instructions
How to cook Cheesy Bacon Green Bean Casserole
- In a cold large (12") cast iron skillet add bacon. Turn heat to medium and cook until crisp. Stirring occasionally. This will take about 25 minutes. See the shortcut method if you want to make this quicker.
- Remove bacon from the skillet with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel lined plate. Set aside. Pour bacon drippings into a jar to save for later use and return 4 tablespoons bacon drippings to the pan.
- Return skillet to medium heat. Add mushrooms, onion and garlic. Cook the vegetables until they are browned, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add 2 tablespoons bacon drippings, into the pan (or butter if you are out of bacon drippings). Add flour, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir until the flour dissolves into the vegetables. Cook 1 minute to cook out the floury taste.
- Add milk and stir to combine. Remove from the heat, add the cheese a handful at a time and stir between each addition. Once the cheese is completely melted into the sauce add green beans and half of the cooked bacon. Stir to combine, cook until green beans are warmed through, about 2 minutes. Top with remaining bacon.
- Serve and enjoy!
