Bacon/cheesy Green Beans

Total Time: 45 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 25 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 8
• 4 (14 1/2 ounce) cans cut green beans
• 3 (5 ounce) jars kraft cheese spread with bacon (in those little jars that make good juice glasses after you get the label off!)
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1 1/3 cups french fried onion rings (from french's)

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• 2 melt the butter in a sauce pan, then stir in the flour until mixture is smooth. don't brown the sauce.
• 3 open cans of beans and drain, preserving the liquid.
• 4 spread beans across bottom of a lasagna pan or baking dish of your choice. (should be an oven-to-table dish.).
• 5 over low-to-medium heat, slowly add the liquid from the beans to the sauce, stopping when you have a medium gravy thickness. you probably won 't use all the bean juice.
• 6 spoon the cheese spread into the liquid, stirring until it has melted.
• 7 pour the combined sauce over the green beans.
• 8 put the beans in the oven. allow to bake for 15 or 20 minutes, then add the onion rings as a topping. (don't add them at the beginning of the baking; they'll get too brown!).
• 9 bake for another 10 minutes or so. (timing is not critical because the beans are already "cooked." you're only heating them up.).
• 10 remove from oven and serve hot!
• 11 be prepared to make a bigger batch next time. :).
