Green Bean Casserole Bundles
The memorable flavors of green bean casserole, all wrapped up in a strip of bacon and perfect for individual servings!
Equipment
- Cookie sheet lined with parchment
- Frying pan
Ingredients
- 20 ounces O Organics organic green beans
- 2 portobello mushroom caps
- 1 yellow onion
- 4 tbsp Lucerne sweet cream butter
- 10 slices thin-cut bacon
- 1 can Signature Select cream of mushroom soup
- 1/4 cup O Organics chicken broth
- 1 tbsp Signature Select soy sauce
- 1 cup Signature Select french fried onions
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or oven to 400°. Bring a pot of water to boil while you wash and trim the green beans. Slice the onion into ¼ inch thick rings. Slice the portobello mushrooms into ½ inch thick slices.
- When the water is boiling, cook the green beans in two batches until just crisp tender (about 4 minutes). Transfer to a water bath to stop them from continuing to cook. Repeat with other half of beans, and once cooled completely, drain the beans.
- In a large frying pan, melt ½ of the butter and cook the onion slices until golden brown and softened. Remove onions to a plate, and then melt the other half of the butter. Arrange the sliced mushrooms in a single layer in the pan and cook until browned and softened. Remove mushrooms from the pan and allow to cool briefly.
- Arrange the bacon slices on a plate lined with paper towels and microwave for 1 minute until par-cooked.
- Assemble the bundles by gathering 8-10 green beans, a few slices of cooked mushrooms and a few pieces of sauteed onion in your hand. Place a piece of par-cooked bacon on a cutting board, and then place bean/onion/mushroom bundles on the end of the bacon. Then wrap tightly and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, with the seam side down on the pan.
- Repeat with the remaining beans, mushrooms, onion and bacon. Place cookie sheet in the hot grill and cook for about 20 minutes until the bacon is crispy. While the bundles cook, combine canned mushroom soup, chicken broth and soy sauce, and heat through.
- When the bacon is crisp, transfer the bundles to a platter and drizzle with mushroom soup mixture. Sprinkle with the French fried onions and serve. Budget about 2 bundles per diner.
- If you’re making these to deliver to family for a virtual dinner together, skip the final step with the soup and mushrooms, and deliver those items on the side. When ready to serve, simply reheat and then top with soup and fried onions.
