Ingredients
  

  • 250 grams Green Beans ends trimmed
  • 1/2 brown onion finely sliced
  • 5 Bacon rashers diced
  • 150 grams mushrooms sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2/3 cup chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup cream
  • 1 tablespoon crushed garlic
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon xantham gum
  • 1 cup tasty cheese grated

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 200C / 392F and grease a medium sized casserole dish. 
  • If using the onion and bacon topping, fry in a frying pan over medium-high heat until crispy. Set aside to drain on paper towel, leaving the bacon grease in the pan. 
  • Meanwhile, steam the green beans in a microwave safe container until cooked to your liking. I like them still a bit crunchy, so this usually takes 5 - 6 minutes in the microwave. Place in your casserole dish. 
  • In the same frying pan, add the mushrooms and butter and saute until lightly golden. 
  • Add the chicken stock, cream, garlic, dijon mustard, salt and pepper and stir to thoroughly combine. 
  • Simmer for 10 - 12 minutes until thickened slightly and taste for extra salt and pepper. 
  • Add the xantham gum and continue simmering for 4 - 5 minutes until the sauce has thickened and coats the back of a spoon. 
  • Pour the mushroom sauce over the beans and stir to combine. 
  • Sprinkle the grated cheese over the casserole, then top with the crispy bacon and onions. 
  • Bake in the oven for 15 - 20 minutes until the bacon and onion are a deep golden colour.
  • Serve immediately, but also reheats very well and is just as delicious for days to come!
