Instructions

Step 1

Set the EGG for indirect cooking with the convEGGtor at 350°F/176°C.

Step 2

Boil the green bean in 3 cups (720 ml) chicken broth for about 10 minutes, and then drain.

Step 3

Fry the bacon in a large skillet until crispy. Add the onions and cook until soft and translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and garlic and cook for another 4-5 minutes until the mushrooms are soft. Transfer the mix to a bowl.

Step 4

Melt the butter in the same skillet and whisk in the flour. Once combined, continue whisking for another 2 minutes until the mixture has slightly deepened in color. Add the half-and-half and 1 cup (240 ml) chicken broth while constantly whisking to prevent lumps.

Step 5

Add the mushroom and bacon mixture along with the salt and pepper. Let the sauce simmer for a couple of minutes, then add the green beans. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Pour the bean mixture into the Rectangular Drip Pan and sprinkle the French’s®Crispy Fried Onions and the cheddar cheese over the top. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
