Join the discussionI make something similar once in awhile for dinner. I sliver the beans and I also add 1 egg and scramble into beans and bacon and add alot of pepper and just a dash of shoyu. Yumm!! great for bento lunch the next day too.
That does sound good!
sorry I stir fry dish and not bake
Sounds delicious. Is the bacon pre-cooked, or do you add it raw?
Hi Julie, you add it raw.
You had me at garlic and bacon … I didn’t need to read any further!
My two favorite ingredients as well. 🙂
Drool. Bacon is my meat weakness. This looks incredible.
Is it really 12 cups?
Marie – It does sound like a lot of green beans doesn’t it? However when you are starting with the fresh, raw green beans they will measure out to quite a few cups. But when cooked down they will be less.
Hi- If I’m doing OAMC, how many freezer bags should I divide this into? Perhaps 2? Saw that you referred to it in the directions, bot no where else. Thanks. Love Paelp OAMC recipes 🙂
Jessica – should be 2 gallon freezer sized bags.
Because we always have green bean casserole with Thanksgiving dinner I decided to make this recipe with brocolli instead. Oh. My. Goodness. It was so good! Everyone loved it!
I bet it was SO yummy with broccoli. I’ll have to try that!
Wondering if, for the freezing preparation, it would work with frozen green beans instead of fresh. Has anyone tried it that way?
I have not tried frozen green beans – but I would think it should work. Please let us know how it turns out if you try it!
I made this and it was amazing. My better half does not like green beans so I crave them at times. I quartered the recipe so I would get two servings. I will be dang if the better half decided to try my beans and he ate almost all of them! Great recipe!
Yeah for winning the hubby over! These are one of my family favorites as well, and are gobbled up everytime I serve them.
I am wondering about the beans. When freezing fresh green beans, you must blanch them. Did I misread the recipe b/c I don’t see any blanching, just raw beans in the freezer.
Andrea – I don’t blanch my green beans, and they turn out good for me.
I have read where you don’t have to blanch them. Giving this a try this year.
I’m going to make these for a dinner party, and am going to freeze them fresh first. My ? is….do you defrost before baking or do you bake straight from freezer? Thanks. Tracey
Yes, you will want ot thaw in fridge. Enjoy!
This look yummy but green beans are not AIP.
Hi Kristi. We have both an AIP and an AIP-friendly category. This recipe falls under AIP-friendly. AIP-friendly (versus AIP) includes foods that can often be reintroduced early after the strict elimination phase. These foods include legumes with edible pods such as green beans. You can read more about how we define those categories here. Hope that helps!
I do something similar but I add sautéed mushrooms.
