Ingredients
- 1 cup finely crushed pork rinds 60g
- 1 tsp minced onion
- ¾ tsp salt divided
- 4 slices bacon
- 12 oz green beans ends trimmed
- ¼ cup sauvignon blanc
- 2 tbsp bacon grease reserved from cooked bacon
- 2 tsp dried parsley
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 4 oz cream cheese softened, cut into small pieces
- 1 ½ oz shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 ½ oz shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tsp dijon mustard

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease 8x8 baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- To a small bowl, whisk together crushed pork rinds, minced onion, and ¼ tsp salt. Set aside.
- Fry bacon in a large pan until crisp. Transfer bacon to paper towel-lined plate to remove excess grease. Reserve 2 tbsp bacon grease. Crumble bacon using hands. Set aside.
- Steam green beans over high heat in a steamer basket for 3-4 minutes. Transfer steamed green beans to a large bowl, add crumbled bacon, and mix until well-combined.
- To a large pot over medium heat, add sauvignon blanc, reserved bacon grease, and dried parsley, and cook until smell of wine has dissipated about 2-3 minutes. Add chicken broth and stir. Add cream cheese and allow to melt fully before mixing in shredded cheddar, shredded mozzarella, mustard, ½ tsp salt, and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until all ingredients are melted together and well-incorporated.
- To the bowl of green beans and crumbled bacon, pour in cheese mixture and mix until combined. Transfer to the prepared baking pan, top with crushed pork rind mixture, and bake until edges are golden brown and bubbling, about 18-20 minutes. Serve hot and enjoy!
