Happy holidays, Macrander family! It's here finally. Last night, J and I went over to his grandmother's house for Thanksgiving-Christmas dinner with his out-of-town aunt. She's going to be with her partner for the holidays and they will not be traveling so we had to celebrate early. Here's the standout dish from last night. Grandma's Thanksgiving Roasted Bacon Mushroom Green Beans
Prep time: 15 minutes
Bake time: 20 minutes
Heat oven: 375 F
Ingredients:
2 lbs. fresh green beans
2 tbsp. EVOO
2 tbsp. all purpose seasoning
6 slices (or more) thick-cut bacon
1/3 cup sliced shallots
2 tbsp. (or more) garlic
12 oz. fresh mushrooms
1 cup low sodium chicken broth
Procedure:
1. Trim and wash the green beans. Toss with EVOO and seasoning.
2. Roast beans in the oven for 10 minutes.
3. Dice and cook bacon in deep skillet (iron skillets make magic). When bacon begins to brown, add shallots, garlic and mushrooms. Stir fry until bacon is brown. (You might want to drain out the bacon fat at this point, or what the hell, YOLO, leave it in.)
4. Add roasted beans to the mix and add 1 cup broth. Cover pan and cook on medium for 10 minutes.
