Ingredients

  • Bacon, 6 slices (156 g)
  • Mushrooms, Fresh, 2 cups (194 g)
  • Onion, Fresh, 1 cup (157 g)
  • Coconut Milk, 1/2 cup (114 g)
  • Almond Milk, 1/2 cup (131 g)
  • Cream cheese, 1/4 cup (58 g)
  • Salt, 1 teaspoon (5 g)
  • Black Pepper, 1/4 tsp (1 g)
  • Green Beans, Fresh, 1 ounces (28 g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C)
  2. Heat a frying pan over low heat.
  3. Cook the bacon slices on both sides until browned.
  4. Transfer to a paper towel to remove any excess fat.
  5. Discard most of the fat in the pan, leaving about 1 tablespoon.
  6. Heat the pan again to medium/high and add in the mushrooms and onion, and cook for about 3 minutes.
  7. Add the other ingredients - except for the green beans - and cook for 4 minutes since it boils. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for another 7-8 minutes
  8. Meanwhile, cook the green beans in salted boiling water for about 8-9 minutes. Drain excess water.
  9. Add the green beans into the sauce and stir until well coated. Press into a pan and cook until bubbly, about 15-20 minutes.
  10. While the beans cook, place the bacon in a food processor and pulse until small crumbs form. Sprinkle on the casserole and then bake for an additional 5 minutes.

    • Hi, Sanditurk. See what you can do while you’re on vacation. For example, use your menus here as a guide for portion sizes, find ways to sneak in physical activity, and just try to do a little better than you usually do. It will add up!

    • Hi, Christiemurray. Yes, you can omit the bacon, but then this becomes a side dish or snack, rather than a meal. If you want to keep it as a meal, you can replace the bacon with 1 cup (255 g) smoked salmon, then replace the almond milk with more canned full-fat coconut milk and double the cream cheese to keep it keto-supportive.
