Awesome Green Beans

Recipe #222479 | 30 min | 30 min prep | add private note

I grew up eating these green beans and learned to cook them by watching my mother. They are my favorite way to eat green beans. Edit: This is a recipe for people that like a tangy vinegar flavor, most kids won't like it. I make this for the adults and just buttered beans for my kids.

SERVES 3 -4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1 (14 ounce) can green beans (I use french style- absorbs the flavor best)
  • 3 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 1-3 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (depending on the amount of vinegar flavor you like)

Directions

  1. 1
    Put a medium skillet on stove and heat to medium.
  2. 2
    Add the bacon and cook till crisp, then remove to paper towel, keep bacon fat in skillet.
  3. 3
    Add onions and saute till lightly brown.
  4. 4
    Add green beans(undrained or just partially drained).
  5. 5
    Add vinegar and cook on medium- low until liquid is evaporated. Taste the beans and add salt and pepper if needed, but remember the bacon is salty!
  6. 6
    Then serve with bacon sprinkled on top.

Very nice, and we were quite happy with the amount of vinegar, it added a nice tang that I really enjoyed. I used fresh beans, and I think I had a bit too much bacon... but we like bacon! Easy to prepare, a lovely way to prepare a favourite vegetable! Thanks, diner!

    I loved the flavor of this! I often make green beans in a similar way using fresh beans. I may continue to do that in the future since the canned beans almost cooked into a mush trying to cook the vinegar out. I feel that fresh beans would hold their shape better. The flavor was wonderful though, and I would suggest that this recipe serves no more than 2 people in a realistic situation. Thanks for sharing! ~Sue

    Great green beans. I used canned and we loved the zing that the cider vinegar gives this dish. Thanks for another winner diner524.

    Loved them!!! I used cut green beans since I never buy the french style ones... and only 2 slices of thick, premium bacon... it was plenty! I loved the tang of the ACV (Bragg brand of course!) with the savory bacon and onion. Just delicious... I should have made another can just for myself... Thanks for posting!
