I love green beans and I'm always looking for different ways to make them. This is a great recipe...quick, easy and oh so flavorful! I wouldn't change a thing. Thank you so much for sharing this. I have a green bean recipe posted you might like to try.

I thought this recipe was very good but I subtracted one star because my husband didn't like it. I don't think the bacon grease is really necessary as the vinegar and bacon bits are delicious enough with the wonderful taste of fresh green beans. Celebrate the vegetables, and not so much salt. Thanks for the recipe Mrs. El.

Great tasting recipe, MrsEl! We had two huge bags of fresh green beans from a friend's garden this summer & i collected several recipes to try out with them. This was by far my favorite. I love raspberry vinegar anyway, but DH doesn't usually. He did this time! Thanks again, i'll be keeping this one handy!

This was just wonderful! Loved the combination of green beans with the sweet vinegar and savory bacon. Thanks for posting - this will be a favorite.
