Green beans, feta and bacon-- all my favorite things! Made this for Thanksgiving dinner, and it was a real hit. I used fresh green beans and steamed them for 10 mins before adding to frypan. Be sure to soak your frypan right away so the cheese residue doesn't stick; this makes for an easier clean-up. We really enjoyed this and I'm definitely going to add it to my holiday repetoire.

My husband and I loved this. It is a wonderful alternative to plain green beans. I had left over bacon from breakfast. I substituted butter for the bacon fat.

Really yummy. I would recommend fresh green beans. Just steam until tender. They were a great addition to my Thanksgiving.

My family really liked this recipe. This was a terrific change from plain string beans. I had to adjust the timing for the beans to cook but I will definitely make this again.

Wow, these were the best! I've tried many recipes with fresh green beans from my garden, and I can't find anything to give them enough flavor. This was it! My husband even liked them, and he's hard to please with vegetables! I only made 1/2 of the green beans that I had picked in case we didn't like them, but I was regretting not making them all. It was so easy- I steamed them, sprayed them with olive oil, and added the onion powder, bacon bits, and feta cheese.

Good, but not great. This needs slight modifications...I have a new microwave and my beans did not cook in 3 minutes. Wish I would have tasted one before adding to the pan. This needs more garlic and onion. Next time I try this I will steam fresh beans and use them.

I scaled this for 12 on Easter, and it was a huge hit. I had tested it out the night before on a couple girlfriends and made a couple changes that I believe really helped the dish. 1) Increased the garlic (doubled it) 2) Chopped a medium onion up and threw it in the pan just as the bacon was finishing cooking. Then when I threw the bacon in with the beans the onions went in too. Combined with the garlic it gave it just the flavors it needed. It was such a hit everyone was asking for the recipe!

This was great! I used turkey bacon and did not put onion powder in because I did not have any. I will make sure I have it next time as I think it would only make it better. I also put a bit more minced garlic in because my fiance and I love garlic. Real bacon would make it better but we're watching our weight and that's all we had. To keep it warm while I made other things, I put it in an aluminum pan and put it in the oven on 250F for 10 min. Thanks!!!

I made this for Valentines Day & it turned out great. It was quick & easy. I ended up getting the cut green beans that self steam in the bag in the microwave. I think they were by Jolly Green Giant. The shortest cooking time was 6 min. so I put it in for 5 1/2 min then added it to the bacon & garlic & added the cheese. And cooked it about 1 1/2min so the cheese didn't clump. I plan on making it again next week.

This was an awesome recipe. The only thing I'd change would be to use canned green beans, frozen were just too crunchy. That's more a personal preference, tho.

Very good. I put the green beans mix and feta cheese in the oven so the feta could melt more prior to serving. You must like feta to enjoy this. But if you are a fan of feta cheese, this recipe is a sure fire winner.

Unbelievably good! I make this whenever possible. I used frozen green beans (they ones in the microwavable bag) and also used turkey bacon instead. Delicious.

These beans were tasty! I brought them to Thanksgiving at my sister's house and everyone loved them. I used uncured/nitrate-free bacon to offset the saltiness of the imported feta. The dish was definitely the best when they were freshly made, but leftovers were passable, too. The problem with the leftovers is that the feta kind of disappeared - maybe I crumbled it too small or something initially. Anyway, I won't hesitate to make this dish again.

Didn't work at all. The feta and bacon clung together and not to the green beans.

Sooooo good! Any strong, salty cheese seems to work. I used extra sharp English cheddar since that's what I had on hand. I might try turkey bacon next time to cut out some of the fat. I will definitely be making this again (maybe tomorrow!).

Excellent recipe. I made this dish for Thanksgiving at my parents, so I cooked it right before I left and just reheated it a little once I was there. I would not change a thing to the ingredients, but had to make some slight adjustments to the cooking times. I needed to cook the beans much longer than 3 minutes to thaw them. Also, when I put the feta cheese and beans in at the same time, the cheese melted before the beans were hot enough. This resulted in the cheese turning in to a big glob that I had to cool and tear apart. I think next time I would cook the beans with the onion powder and pepper and then add the cheese when the beans are hot enough. It was delicious though. Everyone who tried it loved it and I gave the recipe out to several people.

These were delicious! I went from another rater's suggestion and used olive oil and bacon bits instead of real bacon, and it still turned out yummy! The only problem I found is that when you do this the bacon bits and the feta cheese stuck together, but it was still great!
