My mother-in-law introduced me to this quick down-home dish almost 50 years ago when I was a new bride. The tender green beans are topped with diced bacon and a classic sweet-sour glaze. Guests always ask for the recipe. -Vivian Steers, Central Islip, New York Ingredients:
1 pound fresh green beans, cut into 2-inch pieces |
3 bacon strips, diced |
1 medium onion, quartered and sliced |
2 teaspoons cornstarch |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground mustard |
1/2 cup water |
1 tablespoon brown sugar |
1 tablespoon cider vinegar |
Directions:
1. Place beans in a saucepan and cover with water; bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels. Drain, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings. In the same skillet, saute onion in drippings until tender.
3. In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, salt, mustard and water until smooth. Stir into onion. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in brown sugar and vinegar. Add the beans; heat thought. Sprinkle with bacon. Yield: 3-4 servings.
