"company" Green Beans

"My Grandmother used to fix this when company was coming over, hence the name. This is a very forgiving recipe where amounts of ingredients can be varied to suit different tastes (Want less onion? Want more bacon?It's all good). Also, it can be doubled or tripled without any harm."

directions

  • Cut bacon slices cross-ways into 1/2 inch pieces.
  • Fry bacon in a sauce pan until just crisp.
  • Remove bacon from pan and let drain on paper towels.
  • Pour off all but a couple teaspoons of bacon fat.
  • Add onion to pan and cook just until translucent and soft.
  • If using whole tomatoes, cut them up using a sharp knife while they're still in the can.
  • Add tomatoes to the pan along with the drained can of green beans.
  • Add bacon and heat until all ingredients are thoroughly heated.
  • Serve in small bowls because it's kind of "soupy".

  1. A very nice way to get my kids to eat green beans. I really like the zesty touch of the tomatoes with the bacon and onion. It was very good. Thank you, Knitting Granny.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a retired grandma who loves to try new recipes. I also want to preserve some of our family's favorite recipes and some of the recipes I inherited from my Mother and Grandmother so my children will have them. I love to cook (but not everyday if I can help it) so I like to cook things that give us left-overs. Also, my hubby takes lunch to work five days a week, so I try to cook things that will heat-up in the microwave at his work. I love to knit, read, bird-watch, tinker in the garden and I am discovering old movies. I am quite fond of cats, and sometimes they appear in my recipes - but not as ingredients :-).<img img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpgsrc=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket>
