54 oz green beans recommend Margaret Holmes Seasoned Italian
30 oz cream of celery soup 2 cans
½ cup sour cream
4 slices bacon cooked crispy, chopped small
½ cup cheddar cheese grated
1 tbs garlic minced
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tbs worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon whole grain mustard
1 teaspoon white granulated sugar
1 teaspoon fish sauce (optional - but it amps up the flavor)
1 tsp kosher salt (if using the Margaret Holmes seasoned beans, do not add extra salt)
1 tsp black pepper ground. If using the seasoned beans, do not add pepper.
1 ½ Cups French Fried Onions

Preheat the oven to 350 and prepare a 9x13 baking dish with non stick spray.
Mix all of the ingredients EXCEPT the french fried onions together in a large mixing bowl. Use a spatula to mix gently but well. Pour into the prepared 9x13 baking dish.
Sprinkle the french fried onions over the top
Bake for 35-45 minutes until bubbly throughout. Serve hot.

Fry the bacon EXTRA crispy! Verging on burnt is best! You can make it in the oven to avoid the mess!
Make sure you have everything ready to go before you start to assemble the casserole!
Feel free to use less french fried onions, but I think they make a perfect bite and love to use LOTS!
You'll want a really flavorful whole grain mustard. If you don't have whole grain, then try Dijon but don't do yellow mustard.
