📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 375°. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the green beans and cook until bright green and crisp-tender, 3 to ⏱️ 4 minutes. Drain and run under cold water. Pat dry.
2
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Scatter in the bacon and cook, stirring, until just crisp, 3 to ⏱️ 4 minutes. Add the garlic, celery, onion and bell pepper; cook, stirring, until the vegetables begin to soften, about ⏱️ 5 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning. Remove from the heat.
3
Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Sprinkle in the flour and stir to make a paste. Cook for ⏱️ 2 minutes, then whisk in the milk and half-and-half. Adjust the heat so the sauce is simmering gently and cook until thick and smooth, about ⏱️ 2 minutes. Whisk in the hot sauce and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt.
4
Add the bacon-vegetable mixture and the green beans to the dutch oven; mix well to coat the green beans. Transfer to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Toss the fried onions with the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning and toss again. Scatter over the top of the casserole. Bake until the sauce is bubbly and the topping is browned, about ⏱️ 15 minutes.
