Fresh green beans wrapped in crispy bacon and topped with a creamy sauce – keto green bean casserole bundles are the ultimate side dish.
They look so fancy and taste so good that you won’t miss the other casserole.
Green Bean Bundles
Are you looking for a recipe that’s so beautiful you’ll be proud to show it off? Then this is the recipe for you! You can serve the bundles with the sauce on top or on the side – whatever you like best. Either way, they are so fancy that everyone will want to eat them.
The secret is the bacon! I think bacon makes everything better. When you wrap the bacon around the bundles of green beans, they soak up that salty and savory flavor and it makes them taste incredible.
Best part of all is that there are just 4 grams net carbs in each bundle! You can enjoy the same food as everyone else and not go over your carb limits.
Green Bean Casserole Bundles
When you think of green bean casserole, there’s one image that probably comes to mind. Canned green beans in a casserole dish with cream of mushroom soup and crispy onions on top.
Well, I took that classic recipe and updated it! Instead of a high-sodium canned soup, I used heavy whipping cream, parmesan cheese, and real mushrooms to create the ultimate mushroom sauce.
And what about the crispy bits on top? I didn’t forget about them. Instead of fried onions (which is way too high in fat and carbs) I used crushed pork rind crumbs.
They are the perfect balance of crispy and salty without being too high in carbs.
Bacon Wrapped Green Beans
I love bacon. It really improves any dish! Should you use thick cut bacon or regular? That is entirely up to you. S
Once you’re going to bake the bacon before you wrap up the green beans, you can use any kind that you want. Just remember that thick-cut will make more grease, which is more work to clean up.
You should also look at the packaging, too. Don’t use maple cured bacon or brown sugar bacon. Basically, if it has any kind of sugar or syrup in the name, don’t use it.
You can use turkey bacon if you want, but it won’t wrap around the green beans as easily.
Keto Thanksgiving Recipes
This is the perfect recipe to add to your Thanksgiving menu. Start out with either slow cooker butter basted turkey legs or keto roast turkey. The turkey legs are easier and quicker, but the roast turkey is classic.
Then, make the sides. Add the green bean bundles to the table with some keto sausage stuffing, keto cauliflower stuffing and some loaded cauliflower mash!
If you’re feeding a lot of people, add a keto brussels sprouts casserole to the table. Then, for dessert, make some no-bake keto pecan pie bars, or keto apple pie and low carb pumpkin pie tacos. Dinner is ready!
How Long Do Green Beans Last In The Fridge
When you buy fresh green beans from the store, you should use them within seven days. They will last longer if you keep the air off of them – so store them in a container or bag.
You can make this recipe ahead of time, but I suggest storing the green bean bundles separately from the creamy sauce. The bacon wrapped green beans will stay fresh in an airtight food storage container for about three days.
Then, reheat them in the oven or an air fryer so that the bacon gets crisp again.
