To make this cream cheese green bean casserole, I started by pouring some milk into a large saucepan on the stove.

I added two pouches of Lipton Onion Soup & Dip Mix to the milk and stirred it well.

Then I brought the liquid to a boil.

Once it was boiling I reduced the heat to medium and added a brick of cream cheese to the pot.

I stirred until the cream cheese was completely melted.

Then I added some frozen green beans to the pot.

I stirred the beans until they were completely coated in the onion soup and cream cheese mixture.

Then I added some real bacon bits and French’s fried onions to beans.

I stirred all of the ingredients together really well and then reduced the heat to low while I went to prepare the topping mixture.

To make the topping I started by placing some Ritz Crackers in a Ziploc bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.

I poured the crushed Ritz Crackers into a small mixing bowl along with some French’s fried onions and some melted butter.

I used a fork to mix all of the ingredients together really well.

Then I dumped the green bean mixture into a greased 9 inch square baking dish.

I sprinkled the topping mixture over the green beans spreading it out as evenly as possible.

Then I sprinkled some real bacon bits on top.

I baked the casserole until the topping was just starting to brown.

This creamy green bean casserole is packed with flavour and the crunchy topping adds some great texture to the dish.

This simple recipe, using frozen green beans and onion dip mix instead of canned soup, is the perfect side dish for almost any dinner.

Serve this Cream Cheese & Bacon Green Bean Casserole with French’s Fried Onions and Ritz Crackers at your next holiday meal.
