Holiday Green Beans

List of Ingredients




2 3/4 lbs green beans - trimmed; strings removed
1 Tbsp butter
3 Tbsp heavy cream
3 Tbsp finely chopped mushrooms - your variety choice
1/4 cup walnuts, coarsly chopped
2 1/2 Tbsp scallions - freshly chopped
Salt to taste
Garlic to taste
3 slices bacon - cooked and crumbled





Recipe



In a 4 1/2 quart saucepan, bring 2 quarts of water to a rolling boil. Add green beans. When the water returns to a boil, cook green beans for 5 minutes. Drain water from beans. Set aside. In the same saucepan, add butter, cream, walnuts, scallions, garlic and salt. Heat to a small boil, stirring constantly. Heat until slightly thick. Return beans to pan and heat thoroughly. Top with bacon just before serving.
To add a bit of Christmas color, if desired, sprinkle a few chopped pimientos on top around the bacon. It adds only an extra trace of carbs.

Makes 8 Servings. 3 carbs per serving.
