My kids don't like green beans, so I am always on the look out for a good recipe that I can afford (for canned green beans). I developed this one, and they will actually eat it. What doesn't bacon fix? I love green beans, so I enjoy it without the bacon too. Enjoy!

Ingredients

2 cans green beans (your choice of kind, i like french cut, but all are good)
1 small yellow or white onion, peeled, minced
1 clove garlic, pressed or minced (very finely)
1/2 pound bacon, cooked until crispy ( but not overcooked)
1 teaspoon bacon drippings
1 tablespoon butter (or olive oil)
2 tablespoons slivered almonds (optional)
1 cup french fried onions (optional)

How To Make green beans

Step 1

Cook bacon, reserve 1 teaspoon of drippings,include some of the brown stuff. Saute the onions and garlic in the bacon drippings, and the butter (or olive oil).

Step 2

Heat green beans in a separate pan and drain. Pour into pan with sauteed onions and garlic. Add crumbled bacon. Keep on low heat until ready to serve. Slivered almonds are also a great addition to this dish, or if you want to halve the onions and add french fried onions on top, that is also good.
