Ingredients
  • 4 TBSP unsalted butter
  • -1/2 large onion, chopped
  • -1/4 cup plus 4 TBSP Flour
  • -1/2 cup heavy cream
  • -3/4 cup chicken stock
  • -1 tsp salt and pepper each
  • -1 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • -2 tsp minced garlic
  • -Pinch of red pepper flakes
  • -2 TBSP Worcestershire sauce
  • -6-7 slices of cooked bacon, chopped
  • -2 28 oz cans of green beans, drained
  • -1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • -1/2 cup crispy fried onions
Instructions
  1. Stir 4 TBSP of flour with ¼ tsp salt and ¼ tsp pepper. Toss with the chopped onions. Heat 3 TBSP of oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium to high heat. Pan-fry the onions for 5-7 minutes, stirring every so often to keep them from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Once they have a nice golden brown layer then remove from pan and set aside.
  2. Melt the butter in the same skillet. Stir in the ¼ cup of flour and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute. Add the broth and simmer for 1-2 minutes. Lower the heat to medium-low and add the cream.
  3. Cook until the mixture thickens, stirring often, approximately 6 to 8 minutes. Add in the remaining ingredients including the cooked onions and chopped bacon leaving the green beans for last. Stir to combine and cover. Cook on medium low for 15-20 minutes. Top with extra layer of crispy onions and the pecans.
