MY NANA'S FAMOUS GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Cut the bacon into small pieces and cook over medium heat in a heavy 3 qt saucepan until the bacon is fully rendered.
• DO NOT remove any of the bacon grease - it's what makes these green beans so amazing!
• Add the onions and saute with bacon until transparent.
• Add green beans and pepper and stir making sure the bacon drippings are getting mixed in well.
• Add chicken broth and reduce heat to low.
• Cover and continue cooking the green beans for 30 minutes up to two hours, stirring occasionally. Make sure there is liquid in the bottom of your pot so that the beans don't get scorched.
• Check for seasoning levels and add salt and pepper if necessary.
• Enjoy!

GREEN BEAN OVEN FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper.
• Set up a dredging station: Place the flour in a medium bowl. Whisk together the milk and eggs in a second medium bowl. Stir together the onion pieces, panko, salt and pepper in a third medium bowl.
• Dip the green beans first into the flour to coat, shaking off any excess flour, then dip the beans in the egg mixture to coat. Finally, dip the beans into the panko-onion mixture and place the green beans on the prepared sheet tray, about 1/4-inch apart.
• Bake the green beans, turning them over halfway through baking, until they are golden and crispy, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a platter and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Cut bacon into pieces and fry in a pan. Once bacon is browned, pull it from the pan and set aside. Drain the water from the green beans and set water aside. Add green beans to hot pan with bacon grease, cook the green beans in the bacon grease for about 5 minutes, stirring. Add diced onion or a sprinkling of onion powder, now pour the reserved water from the cans into the pan and reduce heat. Keep warm on the stove until ready to serve.

NOT YOUR MAMA'S GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
• Combine the onions, flour, panko and salt in a large mixing bowl and toss to combine. Coat a sheet pan with nonstick spray and evenly spread the onions on the pan. Bake in the oven until golden brown, tossing every 10 minutes, for approximately 30 minutes. Once done, remove from the oven and set aside until ready to use.
• Turn the oven down to 400 degrees F.
• While the onions are cooking, prepare the beans. Bring a gallon of water and 2 tablespoons of salt to a boil in an 8-quart saucepan. Blanch for 5 minutes. Drain in a colander and immediately plunge the beans into a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms begin to give up some of their liquid, approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and nutmeg and continue to cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute. Add the broth and simmer for 1 minute. Add the half-and-half and cook until the mixture thickens, approximately 6 to 8 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and stir in 1/4 of the onions and all of the green beans. Top with the remaining onions. Place into the oven and bake until bubbly, approximately 15 minutes. Remove and serve immediately.
