We love these greenbeans. They're very tasty. If you like more heat add a little more cayenne pepper. Also, you can cut the bacon down to half.

Good side dish, did not use the butter b/c bacon had plenty of fat, used cajun spice b/c that's what I had. Many variations of spices can be used with this recipe as a base, will keep subbing and inventing, Thanx for the recipe

I didn't have frozen greenbeans so I used canned whole green beans. I topped with the bacon instead of cooking it with it. I thought the green pepper was weird with green beans? Will probably make again but without the green pepper.

Pretty much did what Bigshotsmom did. Used fresh gb's and sauteed the onions, garlic and peppers first then added the gb's and only cooked a couple more minutes until they were cooked but still crispy. Then added the bacon in last. I also think the creole has enough heat on it's own and the cayenne is a little un-needed, but that's just IMO. Great recipe all together though!

This is a very nice side dish. I used fresh haricot verts and sauteed them in olive oil with my onion, bacon, and garlic, then added diced red pepper (what I had on hand and I like a little color contrast) and creole seasoning. I used about 1/4 teaspoon of cayene based on the previous reviews. They were very tasty. A great side dish for summer grilling recipes.

I started with fresh green beans, so I blanched them while the bacon cooked to not quite crisp(I only used 3 strips.) I sautees the onions, garlic and pepper until the onions were translucent then added the beans and bacon back in. Since I make my own Creole seasoning mix, I added 2 tsp and omitted the cayenne,salt and pepper. The butter was unnecessary doing it this way and the dish was flavorful, the vegetables tender crisp. This is a nice change from our usual green beans.

These taste incredibly awesome! However, they do NOT need that extra cayenne if you use a Creole seasoning that already has it, it was super spicy- but, to be fair, I was given a warning :) I will make this again, because it's delicious- but next time no extra cayenne for me.

These were pretty good. Made to the recipe with the exception of the creole seasoning. I was ready to put it in when I found I didn't have any! So added some paprika, basil, oregano, thyme, garlic powder and some red pepper flakes. I used my frozen green beans which were a little watery as opposed to store green beans so I ended up cooking them a little longer. I think the butter is unneeded in this dish with all the bacon in it. Unless you use just a couple of Tbsp and saute the onions, peppers, and garlic first, then add the beans and bacon. The bacon also could be cut in half. Had a good flavor, wasn't too spicy for us. I will probably make again. Thanks for the recipe.

Spicy and fattening, but good! I did not add the extra pepper or cayenne pepper, I only used the creole seasoning (I made "Creole Seasoning Blend" from this site). It was plenty spicy. I also did not add any salt. The butter, bacon, onion and garlic mixture smelled heavenly while cooking! I think you could get by with decreasing the butter by half to reduce the fat in this dish.

This was great! I didn't use the green pepper(my husband doesn't like it). I cut the spices in half and was still too spicy for my kids, but I loved it.
