My son and I really enjoyed this side dish. He lived in Germany for a few months while in school, and always talked about his host family's cooking. "Oma" would prepare a similar dish. We included this with schnitzel, spaetzle, and black forest cake for our annual German dinner. Thanks for helping us bring back great memories for my son.

This was good and easy to make. I did cut back on the sugar a bit and used Splenda (as that is all I buy). I also used regular green beans as that it all I had. Other then that, I followed the recipe. This was a nice side dish.

This is a great side dish for any meat...love the bacon and you can control the level of sweetness to your liking. I cut mine to 1/4 cup for Cooking Club night.

This dish is great!! DH and I loved it and will be making it again soon. We served them with brats that had been braised in onions and beer and then grilled - perfect combination of dishes. Thanks for a new family favorite.

What a tasty combination of flavors! I served this with baked pork chops and mashed potatoes. I will be making this again! Made for Alphabet Soup Game. Thanks for posting WI!
