Sub Category   None
Servings   8
Preptime   20 mins

Ingredients
2 lbs fresh green beans, ends cut off
4 slices bacon, cut into 1/4 inch pieces
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 whole large onion, chopped
4 Tbl butter
4 Tbl All-Purpose flour
2 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup Half & Half
1 1/2 tsp salt, more to taste
 
freshly ground pepper, to taste
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese, grated
1 jar (4 oz) Sliced Pimentos, drained
Extra milk for thinning if necessary
1 cup Panko Bread Crumbs (or French Fried onions)

Instructions
Cut green beans in half if you like pieces to be a little smaller. Blanch the green beans- drop them into lightly salted boiling water and allow green beans to cook for about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove them from the boiling water with a slotted spoon and immediately plunge them into a bowl of ice cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain beans once they're cool and set aside.
Add bacon pieces to a skillet over medium heat. Cook bacon for two minutes, then add diced onion and garlic and continue cooking for 3 to 5 minutes, or until bacon is done (but not crisp) and onions are golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a separate skillet or saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Sprinkle flour into the pan and whisk immediately to evenly mix it into the butter. Cook for a minute or two, then pour in milk and half and half. Continue cooking, whisking constantly, while sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. Add salt, pepper, and cayenne then add the grated cheddar. Stir while cheese melts. Turn off heat.
Add pimentos to pan, then add bacon/onion mixture. Stir to combine. Pour over green beans and stir gently to combine. Pour into a baking dish and top with panko crumbs. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until sauce is bubbly and panko crumbs are golden.
