I found several Sweet & Sour Green Bean recipes over the years. Like any cook, I liked certain things about certain ones, and decided to make my own. So, here is the result! But, I dare you to have leftovers; as when you are lucky enough to, they are great cold! Ingredients:
2 (28 ounce) cans green beans, drained |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
2 large white onions, sliced into rings |
1 (16 ounce) package cheap bacon (usually they are about a pound or so) |
1 1/2 cups white vinegar |
1 dash garlic |
3 tablespoons slivered almonds |
Directions:
1. Fry BACON and remove from fat.
2. Mix SUGAR, VINEGAR and GARLIC; add to hot BACON FAT.
3. Cook mixture for about 5 minutes over medium high heat.
4. Place BEANS in a shallow baking dish.
5. Sprinkle ALMONDS over BEANS.
6. Place ONION rings on top of ALMONDS.
7. Crumble BACON over the top of the ONIONS.
8. Pour SUGAR/VINEGAR/GARLIC/BACON FAT mixture over the top of the BACON.
9. Bake at 250 degrees for 4 hours.
10. For a better presentation, I would drain the liquid off of the beans before serving, or serve the beans in soup bowls. But, keep the liquid, just in case you do reheat the beans.
