                    I got this recipe from a Cooking Light cookbook. Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                1 lb fresh green beans  |  
                                                4 slices bacon  |  
                                                16 ounces cocktail onions, drained  |  
                                                2 teaspoons sugar  |  
                                                1/2 teaspoon dried thyme  |  
                                                1 1/2 teaspoons cider vinegar  |  
                                                3/4 teaspoon salt  |  
                                                1/4 teaspoon black pepper  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Trim green beans and cut in half. 2. Cook beans in boiling water for 4 minutes or until crisp-tender. 3. Rinse with cold water; drain and pat dry. 4. Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. 5. Remove bacon from pan, reserving 2 tablespoons drippings in pan. 6. Crumble bacon and set aside. 7. Add onions to drippings, cook 3 minutes stirring occasionally. 8. Add sugar and thyme, cook 3 minutes or until onions are golden brown. 9. Add beans and cook for 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated. 10. Add vinegar, salt and pepper; toss to coat. 11. Stir in crumbled bacon just before serving.                              |
