Snappy Green Beans

Submitted by Kellie in SLO

"This is a recipe handed down to me by my mom. My husband and kids get excited when they see I have bought green beans, because they know they are in for a treat. As a lower fat option I omit the bacon, and cook the onions in a dash of canola oil. I save the bacon for when I serve it to company."

My family loves this recipe. To save time I use 2 cans Green Beans. (Yes canned..I've had no complaints ;-) I also add 1/2 teaspoon salt.

These are yummy green beans. I really enjoyed the flavor of the tarragon on these and bacon is a great addition to green beans. I will make these again!

I loved the flavor that the tarragon vinegar added to this recipe. Dave did not. We used fresh green beans that were given to us yesterday. So good and so pretty on the plate. The only thing I did different was to slice the onions instead of chopping them. I'll be making this again for me, but not Dave. thanks for sharing.

This was excellent!! I make it as posted but next time I will try it without the bacon (yes we all need to lower our fat intake).But I plan to use a dash of bacon fat instead of canola oil. I personally think the bacon flavor adds alot to the taste. I cut the recipe in half and it worked great!. Sorry it took so long for someone to try this 5+ star dish. Thanks, Kellie In SLO for posting, OH! tell your MOM! thanks also.
