Saturday o' fun (RECIPE)

I went to work and the co-workers loved the green bean casserole. It was a huge success. I'm so extremely tired. I have a nocturnal husband who thinks like a five year old (if he goes to bed before 10 he is going to miss something important). So he keeps me up and then I have to get up super early in the morning for work and he sleeps in until 8:30. haha. So I think i'm getting the short end of this stick. He is a goof-ball and I love him more than anything...


So if anyone is interested in the green bean casserole recipe....HERE IT IS. It's fail proof...


Momma's Green Bean Casserole


Ingredients:
*4 Cans of Green Beans
*2 Cans of Crm of Chicken Soup
*one Pkg of Bacon
*One medium Onion
*One can of French Fried Onions
*Salt & Pepper (optional)

Prep:
Preheat oven to 350'
Open package of Bacon and cut vertically three to four sections of bacon and warm over medium heat a skillet for frying the bacon
Open four cans of Green Beans and strain (setting aside a cup of juice from cans)

Begin frying first "batch" of bacon (one of your 3 or 4 sections)
Draining bacon grease between each "batch" (set aside some of the grease for later)
Dice onions and throw in with the last "batch" of bacon to sweat/cook

After bacon is done set on a plate with napkins to remove excess grease.
Combine green beans, soup, bacon, and onion. Gently mix being careful not to cut/mash the beans.
Mixture will be thick. To thin pour some of green bean juice and mix. Then add two or three teaspoons of bacon grease to flavor and mix. (I do no add salt at all because juice from green beans and the grease from the bacon is salty enough). Add more juice to get the mixture to desired thickness. (I like my mixture creamy but not too thick). Pepper to taste.

Bake uncovered for about 30 mins at 350'
Remove from Oven and cover top with the French Fried Onions
Return casserole back to the oven for another 10-15 mins until Fried onions are lightly browned. (watch closely because they burn fast)

Remove from oven. Serve hot. Serves a family of 5 or 6 with leftovers to spare.
