Green Bean Casserole Skillet with Caramelized Onions and Bacon

This delicious Caramelized Onion and Bacon Green Bean Casserole is a dish I prepared as a sponsored post.  All opinions are my own.  #ThisIsMyTwist

The holidays are upon us and Thanksgiving is just around the corner!  Our family has already started planning everything as usual.  My mom never misses a beat on planning the foods out and makes sure that we all get our favorites added into the menu.  Nothing really compares to Green Bean Casserole on Thanksgiving for me.  Thanksgiving wouldn’t seem right without it!  We all seem to take turns making it every year and this year my mom wants me to be in charge of making it!  I love the original recipe, but I also like to add my own twist to it too.  I thought of the salty/ sweet taste of bacon and caramelized onions together and I wondered how they would taste added into the green bean casserole.  I am so glad that I tried it because it really tastes amazing!

Typically caramelized onions take a long time to make, but I found a shortcut that cuts the time in half or more!  From start to finish this dish is made in 30 minutes and it tastes like you spent all day on it!  I stuck with the original recipe for the most part and just added my own twists into it.  Of course I used these three base ingredients:  Del Monte® Green Beans, Campbell’s® Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup and French’s® Crispy Fried Onions.  To that I added the caramelized onions and bacon!  So yummy!!!

To make things easier I used the same skillet I made the caramelized onions in to cook the casserole.  If you like your casserole in a fancy casserole dish you can always transfer the mixture into the dish before the last step of baking the last of the french fried onions on top.  Of course I love my skillet and think it looks pretty superb! 😉

Everything is better with bacon… right?  We certainly LOVED this easy twist on the classic we love!

• • 1 cup milk
• • 2 tsp. soy sauce
• • ¼ tsp. ground black pepper
• • 4 cans any style Del Monte® Green Beans 14.5 oz. each, drained

Onions will caramelize in around 10 minutes thanks to the baking soda. Once they are a deep caramel brown color add the bacon and stir for 1 more minute to let the bacon crisp up.
• ) Next stir in soup, milk, soy sauce, black pepper, beans and 1-1/3 cups french fried onions into the skillet. Mix and stir it all together and let it cook on medium heat for around 10 to 15 minutes or until the mixture is hot and bubbling. Make sure to stir the mixture every 2 to 3 minutes and turn down heat if it starts to stick to the bottom.
• ) Sprinkle with remaining french fried onions.
• ) Bake for 5 min. at 350 degrees F or until onions are golden brown.
