Green Bean Supreme

3 (14.5-ounce) cans French-style green beans, undrained
4 bacon slices, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1 green bell pepper, cored, seeded, and chopped
1/2 cup chopped pimiento, drained
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 (10 3/4-ounce) can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
1 (2-ounce) can mushrooms, undrained
1/2 pound processed American cheese, cut into cubes
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup crushed Ritz crackers
Butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, cook green beans with bacon pieces and onion long enough to cook bacon and season beans; remove from heat. Drain bean mixture and place into an ungreased two-quart casserole dish.

In the same saucepan over medium heat, saut� bell pepper and pimiento in butter or margarine. Add mushroom soup, mushrooms, American cheese, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, until cheese is melted and mixture is thick. Remove from heat and pour over beans. Sprinkle with crushed Ritz crackers and dot with butter.

Bake, uncovered, 30 minutes or until top is golden brown and thoroughly heated. Remove from oven and serve.

Makes 8 servings.

I love green bean casserole and this sounds even better especially since it has bacon! Yum! Thanks!

Green beans are very good. I like the twist to this green bean recipe.
