Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Snap and peel the fresh green beans, ensuring they're fresh and vibrant.
In a pan, melt butter, add minced garlic, and let it become fragrant.
Introduce chicken stock, bringing it to a gentle simmer.
Pour in heavy whipping cream, letting it simmer for that perfect consistency.
Season the mixture with Italian seasoning, black pepper, and a pinch of kosher salt.
Snap the green beans into the mixture and transfer everything to an oven-safe dish.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the green beans are cooked to perfection.
While baking, cook bacon until it reaches crispy goodness.
Once the casserole is done, top it with crispy bacon and sprinkle fresh grated Parmesan over the top.
Optional: Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for that extra burst of color.

Notes

Trim the green beans to a similar length so they cook evenly.
Keep the cream sauce at a gentle simmer rather than a hard boil.
Add the crisp bacon just before serving to keep its crunch.

Estimated per 1/6 of the recipe using 5 cooked bacon slices and regular chicken broth; excludes optional parsley and additional salt to taste. Brands and portions vary.
