Directions

Drop beans into boiling water and simmer for 3 to 4 min. Remove from heat, drain, and add beans to a bowl of ice water for 2 min. to stop cooking. Drain and set aside. Saute bacon in wide, deep skillet until just starting to brown. Add oil, shallots and garlic, and cook over medium heat for 3 to 5 min. until shallots are golden and bacon is almost crisp. Transfer to small bowl and set aside. In same skillet, melt 4 Tbsp. butter over medium heat, whisk in flour and cook for 2 min., stirring constantly and scraping up any bacon and onion bits. Slowly whisk in milk 1 cup at a time and cook, whisking constantly, until mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Stir in cheese, red pepper and 3 tsp. Long’s Peak Pork Chop Spice, and transfer mixture to a 9x13 casserole dish. Top with reserved green beans and bacon mixture. Toss to combine. In a small bowl, melt remaining 1 Tbsp. butter and add remaining 1 tsp. Long's Peak Pork Chop Spice and bread crumbs. Sprinkle bread crumb mixture on top of casserole and bake at 350 for 30 to 40 min. until browned and bubbly. Serve hot.
