Absolutely scrumptious!!! I liked it so much I made the same dish using julienned zucchini instead of green beans a few nights later.... just as good! Yum. A new favorite!

So good! Can't wait to make this again. Love bacon and almonds on green beans!

This was very good. I used frozen green beans. I also used only 2 tsp of brown sugar and used splenda for the rest. Was still a little sweet, but I'm just not used to that with green beans. It was still very good!

Very tasty. I used frozen green beans as the fresh ones at the store didn't look so fresh. Took these to the Labor Day picnic at my mom's and they were well received. Thanks for posting!

I used a little bit less of brown sugar cause I didn't want it too sweet. And it was perfect. I omitted the almonds but otherwise followed everything. Yummy! Thanks Lainey :) Made for Holiday tag
