Sinfully Delicious but Angelic Green Bean Almondine Casserole Recipe

Directions:

1. -Steam green beans to preference.
2. -Cook single bacon slice until crispy (microwave in paper towel for 2 min), crush into bits (or buy pre-cooked bacon bits) and set aside approximately 2 tablespoons.
3. -In large saucepan, sautee thinly sliced vidalia, garlic and 2 tablespoons butter until brown. Then add 1/4 of water and let it cook down into carmelized onion sauce (not to much - really cook it down).
4. -In large bowl, toss green beans, carmelized onions and bacon bits. Salt to taste. Then put into casserole.
5. -Toast almonds with 1 tablespoon of butter (or pam) until toasty brown and brittle.
6. -Sprinkle almonds on top of green beans and then sprinkle shredded cheese (not too much - just for a light zing of flavor and to leave the almonds and greenbeand visible through a light lace coating of cheese).
7. - Pepper to tasted (cracked pepper is best).
8. -Set aside until just before serving and then heat in oven enough to brown the top.
