5 Stars, we really enjoyed the crisp green beans with the red bell pepper strips for accent. It made a snappy side to Recipe #283649 #283649. Thanks for posting, that's just how we like our green beans. Made for Photo Tag.

Delicious! Thanks so much for posting. I tried this last night w/ canned green beans b/c of DH and we both loved it! Cooked in bacon grease makes everything 5 stars! :)
