rec.food.cooking (2002)

16 ounces sour cream
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 cups parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
pepper -- to taste
4 crisp bacon strips -- broken into pieces
4 ounces sliced mushrooms -- browned; in butter
3 green onions -- chopped
6 cups fresh French cut green beans -- blanched
2 tablespoons water
1/2 cup parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 350.

Mix sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, 1 1/2 cups parmesan cheese, pepper flakes and pepper. Stir in bacon, mushrooms and green onions. Add green beans and mix thoroughly.

Pour green beans in a 9x13 casserole, which has been buttered. Top with the rest of the parmesan. Bake at 350, until top begins to brown, 20-30 minutes. If the green beans are bubbling, but the cheese isn't browning, turn it on broil for just a second.

Let set for 10-15 minutes before serving.
