These baked green beans would make any Southern grandma proud. Onions and mushrooms sauteed in bacon grease bake with the beans for a staple in comfort food side dishes.
1 pound green beans, cut in 1" pieces
3 slices bacon
1 large onion, chopped
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 can (10.75 ounce size) chicken broth
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the beans in the bottom of a 2-quart baking dish. Set aside.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set on paper toweling to drain. Do not drain the grease from the skillet.
Add the onion and mushrooms to the skillet and cook on medium heat until soft. Add the black pepper, salt, and chicken broth to the skillet. Cook, stirring to scrape up any cooked-on bits in the skillet, for 2-3 minutes.
Pour the mixture over the beans in the baking dish.
Cover the dish and bake at 350 degrees F for 40-45 minutes or until the beans are soft.
Crumble the bacon and sprinkle over the beans before serving.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
