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.

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

Thanks so much for sharing that Laura! I geeked out and made green bean casserole but this is one of my favorite recipes.

This recipe looks delicious AND it fits the paleo autoimmune protocol. So, thank you! I just started a weekly Paleo AIP Recipe Roundtable through my blog, and I would love it if you linked up this recipe. I’m trying to expand resources for the AIP community.

I just realized that this is the very dish I ordered from New Seasons! It was delicious and I used my leftovers for a vegetarian Shepherd's Pie.
