Paula Deen's Fancy Green Beans

I pulled this one off of the Food Network web site. I'm planning to test drive it for Thanksgiving.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 6-8

Ingredients

• 2  tablespoons  teriyaki sauce
• 1  tablespoon honey
• 1  tablespoon butter
• 1  tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 1⁄2 lbs fresh green beans
• 2  slices bacon
• 1⁄2 cup red bell pepper
• 1⁄2 cup onion, sliced in thin wedges
• 1⁄2 cup cashews (whole)

Directions

1. In a small bowl, stir together the teriyaki sauce, honey, and butter.
2. Fill a bowl with cold water and ice cubes.
3. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the lemon juice. Drop in the beans and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until beans are bright green. Drain the beans in a colander and then plunge them into the iced water. Drain again and set aside.
4. In a skillet, cook the bacon until very crispy, crumble and set aside. Saute the bell pepper and onion in the hot bacon fat for 2 minutes. Add the beans, cashews, and bacon to the skillet. Add the teriyaki-honey sauce and toss gently.
