• 1/2 c all purpose flour

  TOPPING

Directions

1. I buy fresh frozen blanched green beans and put them in the micro for 8 min in a deep bowl to thaw. If desired, cut beans into thirds once thawed.
2. Rough chop 1/2 onion and 4 slices of thick bacon and brown in a large skillet. While that is browning, slice mushrooms, grate Parmesan.
3. For topping partially freeze 3 strips of bacon cut into pcs. Chop in food processor or by hand. Add in panko and 1/2 c of Parmesan, set aside.
4. When bacon and onions are browned add 1/2 c of flour to make a paste. Add more bacon fat, olive oil or butter if needed. Add Mrs. Dash and granulated garlic.
5. Slowly pour in turkey/chicken stock and milk and stir to remove all lumps.
6. Now add beans, mushrooms and 1 c of Parmesan to sauce. Stir really well to coat.
7. Spray a 9x11 baking dish with non stick spray and pour bean mixture into it. Pat down mixture was well as possible.
8. 8. Now top with raw bacon/panko/Parmesan toppings. Spray with spray oil.
