    4) At this point, if your bacon gave out a lot of grease, get rid of it leaving behind just 1 tablespoon. Add the butter along with the onions, mushrooms and garlic and cook the veggies over medium high heat for about 7 to 8 minutes or until the veggies cook down.

    5) Add the stock, thyme, salt and pepper and allow the mixture to cook down on medium heat for about 5 minutes.

    6) Add the green beans and cream and cook everything together for about 5 minutes.

    7) Stir in the parmiggiano and cooked crispy bacon. When ready to serve, place them on a platter and scatter the top with some homemade crispy fried onions.
