Ingredients

• 2 cans cut green beans - drained
• 12oz bacon
• 1/2 yellow onion - diced
• 8oz sliced mushrooms
• 1-2 teaspoons Killer Hogs AP Seasoning
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup shredded white cheddar cheese 
• 6oz French’s fried onions

Directions

1. Cut the bacon into 1” pieces and brown in a large skillet over medium heat, drain on paper towel and reserve 2 Tablespoons of bacon drippings in skillet.
2. Add onions and mushrooms to bacon grease and sauté for 3-4 minutes until onions are translucent. Drain green beans and add to skillet. Continue to sauté for 1-2 minutes - just long enough to warm the beans - and remove from heat.
3. Add cream of mushroom soup, a dash of AP Seasoning (any all purpose will work) and 3/4 of the cheddar cheese with the vegetables.
4. Grease a casserole dish and pour the green bean mixture into it spreading it out to an even layer. Top with remaining shredded cheese.
5. Place the dish into a 350F degree pellet grill (or oven) and cook for 25 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
6. Add the fried onions around the edges and place back on the pit for 10 minutes until the onions turn golden brown.
7. Remove from the pit and add the crispy bacon to the center and serve.
