Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cut the green beans in half if you like the pieces to be a little smaller. Blanch the green beans: drop them into lightly salted boiling water and allow the green beans to cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove them from the boiling water with a slotted spoon and immediately plunge into a bowl of ice cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain the beans once they're cool and set aside.
• Add the bacon pieces to a skillet over medium heat. Cook the bacon for 2 minutes, and then add the peppers, garlic and onions, and continue cooking until the bacon is done (but not crisp) and the onions are golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Sprinkle the flour into the pan and whisk immediately to evenly mix it into the butter. Cook for a minute or 2, and then pour in the milk and half-and-half. Continue cooking, whisking constantly, while the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, some black pepper and the cayenne, and then add the grated cheese. Stir while the cheese melts. Turn off the heat.
• Add the bacon/onion mixture and stir to combine. Add the green beans and stir gently to combine. Pour into a baking dish and top with the panko. Bake until the sauce is bubbly and the panko is golden, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• In an ungreased 13x9-in. baking dish, layer the green beans and ham. Combine the soup, Miracle Whip and mustard; pour over ham. Sprinkle with cheeses. Toss bread crumbs and butter; sprinkle over the top. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.

• Bake uncovered for 30 minutes in the preheated oven.

Steps:

• Cook green beans in boiling water for 5-10 minutes or until cooked but still crispy. (Remember to put the beans in the pan only when water starts boiling hard.) Drain and rinse with very cold water to stop cooking process.
• Arrange beans neatly in the bottom of a greased casserole.
• Beat eggs well and add blue cheese, mushrooms and pepper. When well mixed fold in cream; do NOT beat.
• Pour egg mixture over beans. Mix bread crumbs with melted butter and sprinkle on casserole.
• Heat oven to 400 F and bake 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly and firm around the edges.

• Sprinkle remaining french fried onions over the top.
• Return to oven for 5 more minutes.
