3. Drizzle bacon drippings and canola oil into preheated roasting pan; swirl to coat. Add mushroom blend to pan; stir. Bake mushrooms at 425u0b0 for 8 minutes. Add haricots verts, and sprinkle with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper; toss. Bake at 425u0b0 for 8 minutes or until beans are lightly browned and crisp-tender.
