I used olive oil and feta cheese instead of bacon fat and blue cheese. Didn't measure, just browned some walnuts in the oil, threw in the steamed beans and heated through, added feta and served. This was un- believable! It was so delicious. My husband and two six-footer boys loved it. Not a scrap left.

This recipe is great as it is...but I just had to add bacon. I think the bacon really adds great taste to this dish.

Delishious! Made it to bring to Ryan's parents house for Thanksgiving. Everyone seemed to like it alot. Ryan and I loved it! we will make it again. I added crumbled bacon to the recipe. It's stupid that you have to cook bacon to use the greese and not use the bacon, so I added it. I'm glad I did.

Got rave reviews when I took this to a dinner party. Didn't have bacon, so I sauteed beans in butter and olive oil. Also added roasted red peppers, chopped, for color and added flavor. Pretty and delicious!

Yum, what a great twist on green beans! I didn't have bacon fat on hand, so I just used some olive oil instead. My heart thanked me. =)

Made these for Christmas and they were a hit. Very easy to prepare. I used the pre-cooked bacon in the pouches that you can find by the salad dressing mixes and bacon bits. It was real bacon and instead of the bacon fat I used olive oil and it worked out just fine and was very tasty. Nice change to ordinary green beans. Thank you!

I almost skipped this recipe because of the 80% fat and high calories, but I'm so glad I didn't. It was terrific even with adjustments which reduced the fat to 54% (still high) and the calories by 2/3. Used 1 lb green beans for 4 servings, not 6. Steamed the beans in the microwave for 5 minutes, meanwhile cooked 2 slices of bacon. Poured off all but 1 tsp drippings and added 1 tsp canola oil. Deglazed the pan with 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar. Stir fried the beans and 2 Tbsp walnuts for about 1 minute. Crumbled the bacon and 2 Tbsp blue cheese on top. Fabulous, rich flavor combination, definitely company quality, and ready in about 10 minutes.

Amazing side dish at our Thanksgiving dinner. I did use feta and added some fried onions to the bacon drippings. I used about half of the amount of drippings and it was plenty. Crumbled bacon was also a nice addition.

This was great! Fried up a couple pieces turkey bacon, then tossed the green beans in the pan (only had a tbs. or so of drippings so it wasn't too greasy or fatty) and cut the bacon into small pieces and tossed that in also. The blue cheese and walnuts really added great flavor and texture. Will definitely make this again.

The combination of bleu cheese, bacon, and walnuts is excellent. I didn't bother cutting up the green beans. I think they look and taste better left long. There was a bit too much bacon fat, though. I would reduce the amount next time. Also, I chopped and added the bacon I had cooked for the drippings to the beans. Great recipe.

I made this exactly as the recipe stated and it just didn't taste as good as I'd hoped. I was bummed, especially after reading all the reviews - I had high expectations! WAY too much bacon drippings for us - I'd recommend cutting back on that (I fried fresh bacon, too, just to get that 1/4 cup!), and the blue cheese was simply a wierd combination! I did like the walnuts tossed in, though! IF I ever make this again I'll use some other kind of cheese, like Feta or Asiago. ANYTHING but blue cheese - and we LOVE blue cheese, which is why I'm so disappointed. Sorry. I wish I could have given this a better rating.

My husband and I thought these were fabulous! I think next time I will reduce the bacon dripping by half. We had gorgonzola instead of bleu cheese, but came out great just the same. Very elegant!

Oh my gosh...these were absolutely delish! I would give it 10 stars if I could. It is amazing how such a simple recipe could have such depth of flavor. Great for a holiday or an elegant dinner party. Guess I already know what I will be bringing to Thanksgiving this year! Thanks Kate:)

These were quite good. I did not have bacon drippings, so I used olive oil and added bacon bits. It turned just fine. Leftovers were good, too.
