It’s officially one of the most delicious months of the year! Between November and December, I really can’t choose which has the best food. Not just holiday food, but rich, hearty, soul-warming soups and stews and decadent candies, cookies, and pies.
YES. So excited. These are also the months that draw people into Phoenix because the weather is just so gloriously mild. November also means the return of snowbirds from the mid-west, which really just means more traffic on the roads. It’s a small price to pay for the best time of the year. I get giddy just thinking about it!
Taste: Green Bean Casserole on steroids. The addition of cheese and bacon PLUS the fact that the extra creamy sauce is homemade instead of that canned condensed stuff AND we’re using fresher frozen green beans just takes this casserole to a whole other level of deliciousness.
Texture: Creamy, crisp, crunchy, cheesy, satisfying.
Ease: Pretty darn easy, though it is a bit more work than if we were just using condensed milk and no bacon. You can refrigerate the unbaked, untopped casserole for a couple days if you want to make ahead for Thanksgiving.
Appearance: Mouthwatering. Who wouldn’t want this on their holiday table?
Pros: So much more fun and tasty that regular green bean casserole.
Cons: None!
Would I make this again? Every holiday season.
YIELD: 6 to 8 servings

Sprinkle the flour over the bacon drippings and whisk to combine. Cook for 1 minute, whisking constantly. Gradually whisk in the milk then add the sour cream and bacon mixture. Stir until the mixture has thickened to gravy consistency. Remove from heat and season with black pepper to taste.
In a large bowl combine the bacon mixture with the green beans, tossing to coat. Spread evenly among a greased 9 by 13-inch baking pan.
