INGREDIENTS

  • 4 thick slices bacon
  • 1 (16 ounce) package frozen French-cut green beans
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2/3 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup white vinegar

DIRECTIONS

  1. Fry the bacon in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat until browned. Remove bacon, and set aside while reserving the grease in the pan. Stir the sugar, vinegar and onion into the bacon grease, and reduce the heat to medium. Add the beans, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes or until the beans have reached your desired doneness. Crumble the bacon over the top before serving.

Too much fat. I added more bacon but only used 3 T. bacon grease and canned cut green beans and kept basting them until they were glazed. Family loved them.

This was pretty good. Reminds me of the wilted spinch salad my mom use to make. I used sucralose instead of sugar, red wine vinager, and canned green beans. Lots less carbs that way.

This had a very strong smell and wasn't to my taste.
