- 10 slices bacon
- 1 cup water
- 2 cups frozen cut green beans
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a casserole dish.
- Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring water to a simmer. Add green beans and cook until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain beans, reserving cooking liquid. Drain bacon slices on paper towels, reserving grease in the skillet. Crumble bacon.
- Heat 3 tablespoons of the reserved grease. Stir in flour until blended and nutty in color. Add reserved cooking liquid and cream, whisking constantly until smooth and thick, about 5 minutes. Fold in beans and Cheddar cheese. Pour into the prepared baking dish. Cover with bread crumbs.
- Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, until hot and bubbling, 30 to 35 minutes. Sprinkle bacon on top before serving.
