Green Beans with Bacon and Mushrooms

I didn’t grow up eating green bean casserole, in fact most the vegetables I ate growing up came in  a can.

However, I do remember the first time I had fresh green beans at my Grandma’s house.  She whipped up a dish that as soon as I tasted, I proceeded to destroy my serving and quickly ask for seconds.

 I remember there was bacon and these small potatoes that tasted like heaven.  I seriously started wondering what the heck my mom had been cooking for us the whole time because it never tasted like this.

This Green Beans with Bacon and Mushrooms recipe is pretty simple and a homage to my grandmother’s recipe.  

I hope that you enjoy it.

  1. Looking forward to making this recipe. But wondering — When do you add the thyme – or is the thyme just decorative?
