10
ingredients
- 793.78 g can green beans, french cut, drained
- 793.78 g can green beans, regular cut, drained
- 793.78 g can yellow beans, drained
- 1 yellow onion, sliced, thinly
- 10 slice bacon
- 88.74 ml bacon drippings
- 88.74 ml white sugar
- 88.74 ml apple cider vinegar
directions
- Put all the beans inside of a deep casserole dish, evenly distribute the thinly sliced onions on top and set aside.
- In a sauce or saute pan, fry the bacon -- and save the drippings from it. Don't fry the bacon in the microwave because you will lose the drippings that you will need later to make the dressing.
- Put the fried bacon on paper towels to drain. After it has become crispy, crunch the bacon into little pieces and put ontop of the bean mixture.
- Meanwhile, drain all the bacon fat from the pan except for 6 tablespoons. I do this by pouring all the bacon drippings (without scraping any bacon bits from the pan) into a heat-proof bowl and then I measure out 6 tablespoons of the fat to put back into the pan.
- Add the sugar and vinegar to the bacon drippings.
- Heat this mixture to a light boil for about 2 minutes.
- Pour this mixture over the beans in the casserole dish. You can immediately bake OR if you have the time, cover it and let it marinade overnight in the refridgerator.
- If you have let it marinade overnight, take it out of the refridgerator about 1 hour before baking so it can return to room temperature.
- Bake, uncovered at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

<p>I love cooking, dancing, singing, fundraising, researching interesting topics, being a mom and wife. Oh, and I love the coast! <br /><br /><br />I have a Master's Degree in Speech/Language Pathology. Our beautiful, one and only son will be off to college in two years. When that happens, I will diligently pursue Speech/Language Pathology again. <br /><br />I've been cooking since I was 8 years old. My first memory of cooking alone ...I'm on one of our kitchen chairs, it's a Saturday morning, and I'm frying bacon. <br /><br />I fried it alright. Didn't realize that food would continue to cook after taken off the burner. I was hooked. <br /><br />I love a challenge. <br /><br />I am having a great time on this site!<a href=http://photobucket.com/icons/ target=_blank><img src=<a href= alt= /></a> <br /><br />I>http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa118/detenator_2007/emoticons/yay.gif> <br /><br />I am participating/participated in: <br /><img src=<a href= alt= /> <br /><br />http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/APG/576-21387~Oooookles-of-Noodles-posters.jpg> <br /><br />src=<a href=http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa130/nowsonexitmusic/banner-smalltemp.jpg> <br /><br />http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa130/nowsonexitmusic/banner-smalltemp.jpg> <br /><br />src=</a><a href=http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa130/nowsonexitmusic/mushroombanner-smallpic.jpg> <br /><br />http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa130/nowsonexitmusic/mushroombanner-smallpic.jpg> <br /><br />src=</a><a href=http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r317/j_welcome/pics2/food/PRMRcopy.jpg> <br /><br />http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r317/j_welcome/pics2/food/PRMRcopy.jpg> <br /><br />src=</a><a href=http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/4902/41213577264b44m3kh4.png> <br /><br />http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/4902/41213577264b44m3kh4.png> <br /><br />href=http://media.photobucket.com/image/carolina%20panthers%20football/scifilarry/football%20book/CAROLINAPANTHERS.jpg?o=10 target=_blank><img src=<a href= alt= /></a> <br /><br />http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd223/scifilarry/football%20book/CAROLINAPANTHERS.jpg> <br /><br />href=http://media.photobucket.com/image/carolina%20panthers%20football/scifilarry/football%20book/CAROLINAPANTHERS.jpg?o=10 target=_blank> <br /><br /><img src=<a href= alt= />>http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i25/bayhill/footballpool-1.jpg></p>
