Recipe View Assemble and Serve (5 minutes): Transfer the green bean mixture to a 2-quart baking dish. Gently melt the cheese sauce in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, until smooth and creamy. Pour the melted cheese sauce evenly over the green bean mixture. Sprinkle with the reserved crumbled bacon. Serve immediately.

For a richer flavor, use a high-quality sharp cheddar cheese sauce instead of the processed cheese sauce.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
If you prefer a softer green bean, simmer them for a few minutes longer.
This dish can be prepared ahead of time. Assemble the dish and refrigerate. Add a few minutes to the reheating time.
