I made these last night for dinner, along with BBQ'd chicken and baked potatoes. We like crisp bacon, so I cooked until crispy, then removed them to papper towels. I then added the onions and allowed them to cook and just before they were close to done, I added the garlic. I used a can of french style green beans (drained) and just added about 1/2 cup chicken broth. I didn't have hot pepper vinegar so subbed Apple Cider Vinegar. Just loved these type of beans!!! Thanks for sharing your recipe. Made for Went to the Market Tag Game.
