Ingredients

  • 1 pound green beans * trimmed
  • 4 slices bacon * diced
  • 1 shallot * finely diced
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 cup blanched almond flour

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F
  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the green beans.
  • Cook until bright green and just tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Drain the water and add the green beans to a medium size casserole dish.
  • Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and add the diced bacon.
  • Cook the bacon until crisp, about 4-5 minutes, then use a slotted spoon to remove to a paper-towel lined plate.
  • Drain all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease from the skillet and return it to the heat.
  • Add the shallot and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Stir in the cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, salt, and pepper.
  • Cook until the cheese is fully melted and smooth.
  • Stir the cream cheese mixture into the green beans.
  • Melt the butter, then stir in the almond flour until it resembles crumbs.
  • Sprinkle the almond flour crumbs over the green beans along with the bacon.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly and the almond flour crumbs are lightly browned.

Notes

Tips and Techniques for the Best Keto Green Bean Casserole

  • Use fresh green beans for the best results.
  • To lower the carb count even more, you could try to use crushed pork rinds in place of almond flour bread crumbs. I do not eat pork rinds, or have experience cooking with them. I have seen others use them in this manner though.
  • Store any leftovers in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. Use within 3-5 days.
