  1. Nice simple recipe, but not completely for beginners. !!
     
  2. I knew going in that I would like this because it is your recipe and I've yet to make anything from you that is less than yummy. This was no exception. Made as directed other than scaling it down for 2 of us. I loved that the bacon got added at the end rather than earlier in the process because it retained the crispiness. I also appreciated that it could be done in stages - I blanched and iced the beans down and then 5 minutes before the rest of the meal was ready finished the steps. A real winner at this house! Thanks for sharing.
     
  3. DS requested green beans & bacon with Christmas dinner but I couldn't locate the recipe I've used in the past. I found this one that used garlic instead of onion & since garlic is in just about everything we cook I figured it had to be good. We weren't disappointed & DH had two helpings which for him is unheard of with green beans. I used a bag of fresh frozen beans & a full pound of bacon. (Yeah, we had a little beans with our bacon. lol) These were so easy to make & were really enjoyed by everyone. Thanks for sharing, Connie!
     
  4. I doubled the recipe. The beans were delicious.
     
  5. This is just like my dear mother makes (only she adds sauted onions to it). I highly recomennd this verson too. The bacon and garlic just naturally goes well with the green beans. Thanks for sharing conniecooks. This is a winner.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a mother of 5, grandmother of 2. I have been cooking for 45 years and it is still my passion. I am married to a chef. My oldest son is also a chef. All my kids are major foodies. We really enjoy getting together for family holidays etc. And it is always all about the food and love & laughter. The baby in the icon is my 4 year old grandson, Oliver. The pic is me on my 59th b'day, my husband gave me those gorgeous pearls and we had a great evening. I also must mention the other lover in my life the very hairy, extemely beautiful, totally black cat named Spike; actually he is afraid of his own shadow so we gave him a tough guy name. One of my sons was a soldier in the Canadian military. I pray for all of our children who so bravely defend our way of life. I try to do something kind everyday. It really is nice to be nice. I detest pettiness, two faced people and dishonesty. I try to treat everyone I touch with the same respect I would like. Also I try not to sweat the small stuff. This is pretty much my survival philosophy. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/untitled.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z205/jubespage/stacky5.jpg"> <img src="http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/Birthday%20and%20Celebration%20Images/FrenchCheeseoftheWeekClub.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/ThymeSticker.jpg">
