Nostalgia seems to hit all of us during the holidays. You take a bite of a family recipe, and it reminds you of a loved one.
Del Monte green beans are one that always make me think of my Grand Jackie. She always added a little bacon grease to her green beans, and she always used whole green beans. I never knew why her green beans were so amazing until my mom told me those little secrets.
One quintessential holiday dish is the famous Green Bean Casserole. Is it always on the table at your Thanksgiving or holiday dinner?
I love giving recipes my own twist, so I decided this year’s Green Bean Casserole was going to get a little makeover. It’s getting a cheesy bacon makeover to be exact.

How do you make Cheesy Bacon Green Bean Casserole?
The best part about this dish is that you can put it all together in the same dish you bake it in.
First, we’ll add the green beans to the dish.
Then, add the cheese, bacon, milk, soy sauce, pepper, some of the fried onions, and the Campbell’s soup right on top of the green beans.
Mix it all up and put it in the oven for 20 minutes or until it’s all bubbly.
When it’s nice and bubbly, pop it out of the oven for a few minutes and add the last of the crumbled bacon and the fried onions.
Then, top it with the last 1/2 cup of cheese, and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes. You want that cheese nice and melted.
You will not believe how wonderful this Green Bean Casserole smells with the bacon and the mushroom soup. I tend to be a very picky person, so whenever someone else has made this casserole I stayed away from it. I seriously could not leave it alone when I made this one. You are going to love this old classic with an updated twist!

How many does it serve? Going to try this for Thanksgiving and serving a large family
This is just good comfort food and no matter how you prepare it, it’s hard to go wrong. I decided to try this recipe pretty much the way it was posted except for the onions and canned beans.
For the onions, I went with frozen onion rings and crisped them up in the oven. I like the round appearance, especially on top but the French’s onions are also very tasty.
For the beans, I have a garden so went with fresh, obviously. Just needed to simmer them in a little salt water until tender ahead of time and drain. Del Monte beans are always of good quality though and when I don’t have fresh beans available they are my preferred brand.
Oh, and I also added an eight oz. container of fresh sliced mushrooms to the mix that were gently sautéed in a little butter first.
Yummy!
Also, cudos to the writer of this article. The writing and visuals were very appealing!
