My Green Bean Cassarole

It's that time of year for very unhealthy food filled with butter, fat and more calories.  I introduce to you my version of green bean Casserole, I'm warning you now that I am not responsible for the amount of calories that your body will intake from this dish

Enjoy.

Ingredients

2 LBS Fresh Green Beans
2 Whole Shallots (1, sliced, 1, diced)
5 Cloves Garlic (sliced)
1 1/2 Cup Heavy Cream
2 TBL Bacon Fat (Felicia does not know this is in it)(but now she does)
1 Cup shredded White Cheddar
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 Cup Canola oil (for frying onions)
1/2 Cup Flour
1/2 Cup buttermilk

• The wine is for you to drink while cooking
• First thing we do is take the tips off of the green beans
• Rinse them
• Now we blanch them for 4 minutes

• As the green beans are blanching, lets slice and dice the onions

• Grab a medium saute pan and turn it on medium
• Place your bacon fat in pan and allow it to heat up
• No add your diced shallots and sliced garlic to the heated up bacon fat
• 
• Allow this to cook for 5 minutes
• Add your heavy cream and turn down heat to low
• Add your cheese
• As this cooks, take your green beans off the heat and drain them
• Now add the green beans to the cream mixture

• Now allow this to cook on low for 10 minutes
• Get your oil started for your fried onions

• Turn that heat on to medium high
• Now lets get your dry and wet ingredients ready
• 1/2 Cup of flour with added salt and pepper
• 1/2 Cup buttermilk 

• Now dip your onions into the wet and then the dry and add it to the hot oil

• Do a little at a time for they will stick together and not cook all the way through
• When they start to cook put them on a paper towel 

• Now grab a deep dish pan and put your green bean mixture in first
• Now add your fried onions
• Place in oven for 15 minutes

• When your dish is done this is how wonderful it looks, just imagine how it tastes

If you want you can add bacon to the top for an extra crisp.  I have done that before as well.  Enjoy everyone.
