SUPER YUM!! Thanksgiving will be upon us before you know it. And dare I say you mess with tradition and not prepare the usual green beans baked in cream of mushroom soup. In fact I will go a step further and Double Dog Dare you to make the change. This recipe is so much more interesting. And guess what? You can actually taste the green beans in this recipe. The only change I would make is cut the amount of sugar in half.
Ingredients:
24 ounce fresh snipped green beans, rinsed
6-7 fresh garlic cloves
3 slices bacon
1/4 cup sugar (I suggest a little less than that)
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Directions:
1. Place beans in a microwave-safe bowl; cover and microwave on HIGH 3-4 minutes or until beans are hot.
2. While beans cook, slice garlic thinly; set aside. Preheat large saute pan on medium-high 2-3 minutes. Cut bacon into 1/4-inch-pieces. Place bacon in pan (wash hands); cook 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until bacon is crisp.
3. Stir garlic slices into bacon; cook 1 minute, stirring frequently, or until garlic begins to soften (do not allow garlic to brown). Stir sugar, then vinegar into pan; cook 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, or until sugar dissolves.
4. Stir in green beans and pepper; cover and cook 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until beans are desired tenderness and evenly coated. Serve. (Makes 6 servings.)
