these green beans are sooooo good, mainly because they aren't actually all that healthy for you after cooking them in bacon grease. a friend of mine also adds potatoes to the mix, which I will definately be trying next time.
you will need:
7 slices of bacon
1/2 medium white onion, chopped
32 ounces french style green beans (or other green beans)
2 T vinegar
2 T sugar
salt and pepper to taste
preparation:
cut your bacon into 1 inch pieces
cook bacons and onions over medium heat until browned
remove bacon and onions and set aside
cook:
add beans to bacon grease and cook over medium heat until tender
add vinegar and sugar, stir
add bacon and onions back in
simmer until heated through
add salt and pepper to taste
