Directions

  1. Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add green beans, cover, and steam until tender-crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain.

  3. Drain bacon slices on paper towels, reserving grease in the skillet. Saute onion in the bacon grease until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in brown sugar, vinegar, salt, mustard, and pepper. Stir well, scraping up any onion bits off the bottom of the skillet. Cook until bubbling, 3 to 5 minutes.

  4. Add green beans to the skillet with the sauce, toss to coat well. Chop cooked bacon and stir into the beans. Serve hot.

Recipe Note

Ridiculously good beans that make a great side dish to just about anything. One of those recipes that grandma made for years that we could never get enough of. Garnish with sliced or slivered almonds.
