📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 400 ̊. Lay the bacon slices on a rack set on a rimmed baking sheet. Combine the brown sugar and maple syrup in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave just until melted, about ⏱️ 15 seconds, then stir. Brush on the top of each slice of bacon. Bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until the bacon is crisp, about ⏱️ 15 minutes. Let sit on the rack for ⏱️ 5 minutes, then lift the bacon off the rack so that it doesn’t stick. Return to the rack and let cool completely, about ⏱️ 20 minutes. Chop and set aside.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add half of the green beans and cook until bright green but still crisp, 3 to ⏱️ 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the beans and immediately plunge into a bowl of ice water. Repeat with the remaining beans. Drain the beans from the ice water once they are cool.

Dump out the water from the pot. Add 4 tablespoons butter and melt over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, shallots, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are softened, 4 to ⏱️ 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, ⏱️ 1 minute. Remove everything to a sheet pan.

Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in the pot over medium-high heat. Add the flour and whisk to combine. Cook for a minute or two, then pour in the milk, half-and-half, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Continue cooking, whisking, until thickened, 6 to ⏱️ 7 minutes.
5
Stir the green beans, mushroom mix, the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper into the sauce. Transfer to a 2-quart baking dish and bake until bubbly, 15 to ⏱️ 20 minutes. Top with the bacon and almonds.
