I picked up fall garden green beans from the Farmer’s Market when I made this recipe the first time. I think nice frozen whole green beans would do almost as well – simple and delicious. I was surprised the bacon got crisp after cooking it with the beans - this is so good I have made it several times since.
Garden Green Beans With Bacon
1 Pound Green Beans -- fresh, trimmed
4 Slices Bacon -- cut in 1/2" pieces
1 Cup Red Onion -- sliced 1/8" thick
3 Tablespoons Butter
1/2 Teaspoon Pepper
1/4 Teaspoon Salt -- optional
In a 3 quart saucepan, place beans and bacon; add enough water to cover. Bring to a full boil, cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until beans are crisply tender (20-25 minutes); drain.
Return to pan; add remaining ingredients. Cook over medium heat until onion is crisply tender, 5-7 minutes.
