STEPS:

4. Final layer tub cool whip on ice cream sandwiches

5. Swirl Hershey’s syrup on final layer cool whip

6. Add sprinkles or crushed candy bars on top - optional.

7. Freeze until set. I always make the night before and freeze so I don’t really have a time on how long it takes to set up.

Ashleigh: Green Bean Casserole: Everything's better with BACON!

The lengthier yummy homemade version with bacon...or the classic Campbell's dump and stir version, which is a personal favorite of mine! Depends on the amount of time I have and to which family/friend event I am attending!

Ingredients

● 3 slices thick-cut bacon diced

● 1⁄2 cup finely chopped yellow onion

● 2 cloves garlic minced

● 12 ounces fresh button or cremini mushrooms chopped

● 3 tablespoons butter

● 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

● 1 cup half-and-half

● 1 cup chicken broth

● 1⁄2 cup shredded white cheddar cheese

● 3⁄4 teaspoon salt

● 1⁄4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

● 1 pound fresh green beans trimmed, halved, and blanched (boil 5 minutes, place beans

in ice water for a couple of minutes, drain)

● 1 can French fried onions

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

2. Fry the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy. Add onions and cook

until soft and translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Add mushrooms and garlic and cook for

another 4-5 minutes until the mushrooms are soft. Transfer the mixture to a bowl.

3. Melt the butter in the same skillet and whisk in the flour. Once combined, continue

whisking for another 2 minutes until the mixture has slightly deepened in color. Add the

half-and-half and chicken broth while constantly whisking to prevent lumps. Once

slightly thickened, add the cheese and whisk until melted and combined.

4. Next add the mushroom/bacon mixture along with salt and pepper. Let the sauce

simmer for a couple of minutes, then add the green beans. Stir to combine.

5. Pour the bean mixture into a 9x13 casserole dish and sprinkle the French fried onions all

over the top. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
