Introduction
Combination food grouping to make gravy with green beans and mushrooms for putting over the top of rice, potatos, or as a possible baking glaze. Raw green beans prior to cooking are calculated into the nutrional information above. The 7 cup estimate will reduce to about the same as 2 15 oz cans would yield. Substitution is of course to use two cans of no salt added green beans. The bacon can be replaced with olive oil or other bacon like things as it's main purpose is to provide some fats and cooking medium for the onion and mushrooms. Basic adaptation of southern style green beans and green bean casserole to make a gravy for other dishes combining the best of two worlds. Careful using full salt varieties of canned components or adding salt as this can be rather extreme for this recipe.
