Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 sweet onion, chopped
  • 4 slices bacon, cut in 1/2 – 1 inch pieces
  • 2 garlic cloves, pressed
  • 12 oz. green beans, trimmed and cut in 1 – 2 inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup vegetable broth

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Add the butter, onions, and bacon to a pan and sauté over medium heat stirring occasionally for about 15 minutes.
  3. Once the onions are golden brown and caramelized, add in the garlic and sauté for just a minute or two more.
  4. Once the onions are perfectly caramelized, add the green beans, broth, cream, Gruyere, Parm, salt and pepper to the pan.
  5. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently until the sauce thickens and coats the green beans.
  6. Transfer the green bean mixture to a baking dish (or if you’re using a cast iron skillet you can just keep it in the skillet).
  7. In a small bowl mix together the chopped pecans and coconut sugar.
  8. Sprinkle it on top of the green bean casserole.
  9. Top the casserole with the fried, crispy onions.
  10. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. You can take off the aluminum foil for the last few minutes.
