Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a casserole dish.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the flour, creating a roux, and cook for 1 minute while stirring continuously.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream, whisking until smooth and thickened.
Add the Boursin cheese, grated Monterey Jack, and cream of mushroom soup, stirring until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
Stir in the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce.
Fold in the drained green beans, half of the crispy fried onions, and bacon bits if using. Stir until everything is evenly coated in the sauce.
Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it evenly.
Top with the remaining crispy fried onions for a crunchy topping.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling.
Serve warm and enjoy!
